AFDS 2012: HSA Foundation Joins AMD, ARM, Ti, Imagination and MediaTek with Open Architecture

[news 28]

Today is a big day for AMD as they, along with four other major

players in the world of processors and SoCs, announced the formation

of the HSA Foundation. The HSA Foundation is a non-profit consortium

created to define and promote an open approach to heterogeneous

computing.

Quote: "There are a lot of implications in this simple statement and

there are many questions that are left open ended to which we hope to

get answered this week while at AFDS. The idea of a "single

architecture specification" set a lot of things in motion and makes us

question the direction of both AMD and the traditionally ARM-based

companies of the HSA Foundation will be moving in."

 

Thanks for a post!
