14 DAY TRIAL // AMD is extremely serious with just about everything related to its AMD Fusion platform and the applications that will be developed specifically for it, and for this reason, it's just made available for download the AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.3 with full support for the first AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), OpenCL 1.1 and AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series graphics.
Formerly known as the ATI Stream SDK, AMD APP SDK v2.3 offers, beside support for the first AMD Fusion APUs and OpenCL 1.1, improved runtime performance and math libraries for OpenCl.
"When developers harness the power of parallel processing within our APU designs, they can fundamentally change the PC experience to help not only make it faster, but also to create new possibilities in software," said John Taylor, director of Client Product and Software Marketing, AMD.
"In 2008, AMD was the first processor design company to embrace OpenCL, and as such, we have made significant progress in parallel processing innovation. Our vision has been realized with the widespread availability of the first PCs powered by AMD Fusion APUs," Mr. Taylor added.
"Industry standards like OpenCL and OpenGL, common APIs, and tools like the AMD APP library and SDK give application developers a shared environment that allows them to harness maximum hardware performance for amazing application experiences across platforms," said George Tang, vice president and general manager of ArcSoft's Video and Home Entertainment Group.
"By supporting these open standards, AMD is giving developers access to a programming environment that helps them more easily navigate the recent advances in computer hardware, including AMD's APU technology," concluded the ArcSoft's rep.
