AMD 2013 Developer Summit
For the third consecutive year, AMD invites computing innovators, developers and researchers in the rapidly growing field of heterogeneous computing to submit their latest work and research findings in the form of archival presentations for AMD’s annual developer summit.
Heterogeneous System Architecture: Purpose and Outlook
The HSA Foundation, known as the “HSAF”, is an open, industry standard consortium founded to define and deliver open standards and tools for hardware and software to fully take advantage of high performance of parallel compute engines, and do so in the lowest possible power envelope.
AMD announced FirePro S10000 dual-GPU card
Today at SC12 conference Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) introduced what it claims is the most powerful server graphics card, the AMD FirePro S10000.
AMD AppZone for GPU-accelerated and mobile apps
AMD launched AMD AppZone, an online showcase for applications and games accelerated by AMD Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs) and AMD accelerated processing units (APUs).
AMD Announces FirePro S Series: S9000 and S7000 For Servers, HPC and Virtualization
It is known that NVIDIA dominates the HPC market with their Tesla GPU cards. In response AMD have launched new FirePro S series of graphic cards. The FirePro S series will be composed by the FirePro S9000 and FirePro S7000.
Oracle and AMD propose GPU accelerated Java
Oracle is now turning to hardware acceleration to speed up Java by utilizing GPUs. A new project to explore whether it is possible to seamlessly boost Java applications by getting the Java Virtual Machine to take advantage of a GPU has been jointly proposed by Oracle and AMD on the OpenJDK mailing list
AMD launches next-gen FirePro graphics card lineup
AMD has used the Siggraph 2012 exhibition in Los Angeles to launch four workstation-class graphics cards in its FirePro range. The new line of GPUs and APUs is aimed for users looking for high-end computational and graphics performance.
HSA Explained: How Heterogenous System Architecture will improve computing
Some of the biggest names in high tech came together in June and announced the formation of the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Foundation.
AMD Graphics Cores Next (GCN) architecture whitepaper
AMD’s GCN Architecture comes at a time of change for the industry. Graphics is an increasingly important part of the user experience, and a crucial component for SoCs that integrate CPUs and GPU side-by-side. The mandate for GPUs is expanding to include not just 3D rendering, but new general purpose, heterogeneous applications such as facial recognition, which are only feasible using the parallel performance of the GPU.
AMD CodeXL Developer Tool at AFDS 2012
Last week AMD opened their AFDS summit with a new unified profiling and debugging tool CodeXL for both CPUs and GPUs. CodeXL brings together the GPU and CPU compute tools to enable faster and more robust development of OpenCL and OpenGL accelerated applications
