Commenting on: Free OpenCL for CPU beta download from AMD
Posted by Tony DeYoung on August 05, 2009
AMD is offering a free OpenCL for CPU beta download as part of the ATI Stream SDK v2.0 Beta Program. The Stream SDK allows you to take advantage of GPGPU computing and develop your applications in a high-level language - OpenCL. It allows you to divide software workloads between different hardware elements such as multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and DSPs.
Below is a video of a 4P six-core AMD Opteron processor-based system (24 total cores) running an OpenCL-based, fluid/particle simulation. The demo runs through enabling progressively more CPU cores and you see the performance scaling. Impressive.
