Commenting on: The Power of Uber-Parallel Processing - the new WGL_AMD_GPU_association extension

GPUs are highly parallel processors, generating results for millions of pixels, possibly hundreds of times per second. But at the same time, a GPU is a single processor that can only work on one task at a time. A single application, or even multiple applications, can rarely utilize the resources of multi-GPU systems efficiently.

Some modern GPU features help to address this issue. MultiView allows each OpenGL application on Windows XP to run locally on the GPU the monitor is attached to. CrossFire accelerates applications by tasking each GPU with a…
