ATI Stream Computing: From the desktop to the datacenter

[news 28]

NVIDIA and the CUDA programming model have been getting all the attention

for GPGPU computing recently but AMD wants to fight back with news of its

update to the ATI Stream programming model that will include a completely

free transcoding application in December.

Quote: "AMD claims to have 2 million HD 4000 series GPUs in the market

creating a pretty large user base for ATI stream compatible applications.

As of today, stream applications are NOT enabled with publicly available

drivers but that will be addressed in the next revision of Catalyst coming

in December. Once that update is ready, all 2 million of the Radeon HD

4000-series cards should be stream compute ready and will be able to

download the new Avivo Transcoder for free as well."

 

Thanks for a post!
