AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing SDK (formerly ATI Stream) Description

ATI Stream technology is a set of advanced hardware and software technologies that enable AMD graphics processing cores (GPU), working in concert with the system’s x86 cores (CPU), to accelerate many applications beyond just graphics. This enables better balanced platforms capable of running demanding computing tasks faster than ever, and sets software developers on the path to optimize for the upcoming AMD Fusion Family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). What is the ATI Stream Software Development Kit? The ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) package provides a complete development platform created by AMD to allow you to quickly and easily develop applications accelerated by ATI Stream technology. The SDK allows you to develop your applications in a high-level language, OpenCL (Open Computing Language). What is OpenCL? OpenCL is the first truly open and royalty-free programming standard for general-purpose computations on heterogeneous systems. OpenCL allows programmers to preserve their expensive source code investment and easily target both multi-core CPUs and the latest GPUs, such as those from AMD. Developed in an open standards committee with representatives from major industry vendors, OpenCL gives users what they have been demanding: a cross-vendor, non-proprietary solution for accelerating their applications on their CPU and GPU cores. What's new in AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing SDK (formerly ATI Stream) : Increased size of staging buffers. Enhanced Binary Image Format (BIF). Support for UVD video hardware component through OpenCL (Windows 7). Support for AMD E-Series and C-Series platforms (AMD Fusion APUs). Support for Northern Islands family of devices. Support for AMD Radeon HD 6310 and AMD Radeon 6250 devices. Support for OpenCL math libraries: FFT and BLAS-3, available for download at AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing Math Libraries. Preview feature: An optimization pragma for unrolling loops. Preview feature: Support for CPU/X86 image. This enables the support for Image formats, as described in the Khronos specification for OpenCL, to be run on the x86 CPU. It is enabled by the following environment variable in your application: CPU_IMAGE_SUPPORT. Optimized Histogram sample. Added makefiles and implemented changes in samples code to compile with Intel compiler, MinGW + GCC, and MinGWx64 + GCC. Various OpenCL compiler and runtime fixes and enhancements V...
