11.16.2015 - AMD Launches 'Boltzmann Initiative' to Dramatically Reduce Barriers to GPU Computing on AMD FirePro(TM) Graphics

New Tools Target an Unprecedented 28 Teraflops of Processing at Less Than a Kilowatt by 2016 AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 11/16/15 -- Building on its strategic investments in heterogeneous system architecture (HSA), AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced a suite of tools designed to ease development of high-performance, energy efficient heterogeneous computing systems. The "Boltzmann Initiative" leverages HSA's ability to harness both central processing units (CPU) and AMD FirePro™ graphics processing units (GPU) for maximum compute efficiency through software. The first results of the initiative are featured this week at SC15 and include the Heterogeneous Compute Compiler (HCC); a headless Linux®... - View Press Release - Visit AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.)
