AMD is proud to make available the fourth beta release of ATI Stream SDK v2.0 that provides the first complete OpenCL™ development platform. This release is certified fully compliant with OpenCL 1.0 by the Khronos Group and is supported on a wide range of AMD GPUs (see http://developer.amd.com/streambeta for the full support list) as well as any x86 multi-core CPU supporting SSE3.
AMD offers the market both high-performance CPU and GPU technology, and as such we are delivering on this unique ability to provide an OpenCL platform that enables developers to create applications that run the way they were meant to be run, on all the available processors in the system!
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.
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).
