ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.0 Beta 3
|
 The ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) is 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 ATI Stream Technology?
ATI Stream technology is a set of advanced hardware and software technologies that enable AMD graphics processors (GPU), working in concert with the system’s central processor (CPU), to accelerate many applications beyond just graphics. This enables better balanced platforms capable of running demanding computing tasks faster than ever.
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 v2.0-beta3
- ATI Stream SDK v2.0 OpenCL for x86 CPUs is now certified conformant by Khronos on September 3, 2009.
- 64-bit atomic built-ins are now recognized.
- Fixed some compiler assertion issues.
- Fixed some incorrect compiler warnings.
- Fixed some incorrect compiler assertion failures.
- Fixed some code generation issues.
