(NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of innovative video and display processing solutions, today announced that GALA Sports' first self-developed football simulation game, Total Football, has integrated Pixelworks' Rendering Accelerator SDK as part of its solution to improve the visual experience of mobile gaming.
