GPGPU (General-purpose computing on graphics processing units) initiatives are still in their infancy these days but with so much power lying in wait on graphics cards, both Nvidia and AMD are getting into the scene to promote their own solutions. While Nvidia has its CUDA development tools AMD has Stream and it is the latter which will get some time in the spotlight starting next month when it will be available to Radeon HD 4600 and 4800 series cards.
"ATI Stream is one of the best examples of the power of Fusion, and today's announcement is the first major step in taking this important new technology mainstream," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. "For the millions of people that have already purchased an ATI Radeon HD 4000 series graphics card, this is one more way we're saying thank you and helping them get more out of their investment."
Set to be enabled through the Catalyst 8.12 driver, which is scheduled for a December 10 release, ATI Stream will see the Stream Processors of Radeon cards be used for more than 'just' games. With Stream, the GPUs will be put to good use in software like the ATI Avivo Video Converter utility and application from ArcSoft and CyberLink and make demanding computing tasks run a lot faster than they do on CPUs. According to AMD, the ATI Stream SDK will be fully OpenCL compliant.
