HMPP directive-based compiler adds support for AMD GPUs
CAPS entreprise today announced that its HMPP directive-based compiler has added support for AMD’s GPU technology. Based on OpenACC and OpenHMPP directive-based programming model, HMPP compiler fully integrates data-parallel backend for OpenCL and will leverage the computing power of AMD GPU and APU devices.
OpenCL 1.2 and C++ Static kernel language now available with AMD APP SDK
Beginning with the AMD OpenCL™ APP SDK 2.6 availability back in December of 2011 AMD has been making available preview versions of both OpenCL™ 1.2 support and improved C++ support for both host side and kernel side coding.
Future AMD APU’s to Boost in Performance through Improved GPGPU Design Architecture
National Science Foundation and AMD have funded a research over at North Carolina State University where engineers have successfully obtained an average of 21.4 percent more performance through improving the design of an fused processor.
AMD VP Joe Macri keynote on Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA)
AMD engineers were working towards making the processing capability of the company’s accelerated processing units (APUs) as accessible to programmers as the CPU is today using heterogeneous systems architecture (HSA)
Heterogeneous Systems Architecture: AMD Dumps “Fusion” Brand
Advanced Micro Devices said Thursday that from now on it would call its Fusion system architecture (FSA) as heterogeneous system architecture (HSA).
AMD Released APP SDK v2.6 with preview of a subset of the OpenCL 1.2 functionality
The AMD APP SDK v2.6 with OpenCL 1.1 support uses the OpenCL ICD (Installable Client Driver) as part of the software stack. Code written with beta releases of the ATI Stream SDK v2.0 requires changes to comply with the OpenCL ICD requirements.
AMD: GPGPU Accelerators in CPU Sockets Make No Sense
Advanced Micro Devices said that making special-purpose GPU-based accelerators compatible with CPU sockets makes no sense. The approach proposed by AMD is vastly different from the one that is allegedly offered by its arch-rival, Intel.
Penguin Computing Deploys World’s First HPC Cluster Based on AMD Accelerated Processing Units at Sandia
Penguin Computing’s new Altus 2A00 Server Platform enables Sandia to leverage the benefits of the APU’s combined GPU-CPU architecture
