OpenCL™ Development Systems
With
the beta release of its ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.0,
featuring OpenCL™ 1.0 support, AMD provides a free set of tools software
developers can use to create applications that are accelerated by AMD GPUs
and AMD multi-core x86 CPUs working together. This is an important step
in AMD’s initiative to create a balanced heterogeneous architecture for
applications that have numerous functions, some of which accelerate well on
multicore CPUs while others are perfectly suited for a GPU’s data parallel
architecture.
Because
most mainstream applications are heterogeneous in nature, a good development
platform needs to take that into account. Exxact OpenCL™ Development
Systems do just that, offering the latest in AMD CPU and GPU technology,
including Six-Core Opteron™ CPUs and ATI Evergreen GPUs, that not only enable
developers to take advantage of ATI Stream acceleration in their applications
but also the opportunity to build applications that leverage all of the
system’s compute resources – CPUs and GPUs – to provide a superior user
experience.
