HSA support list? Any OpenCL software? Relation to Windows 10?

[stateofmind]

Hi people

I was wondering what software makes use of HSA. I know there are some showcases like LibreOffice, but I want to know whether any software that make use of OpenCL (and uses the GPU) will take advantage of the HSA capabilities?

How about Windows 10 + HSA? Any advantage?

One area where is could be obviously useful is Photo/Video editing. Current Adobe 2014 CC products like Photoshop and Premiere do utilize OpenCL. Does it mean that for these features it, CPU with HSA will have some advantage?

Thanks

There's none that I know of aside from demos or code samples ...

I haven't seen any applications so far that would require big features from HSA such as shared virtual memory which is also standardized in OpenCL 2.0 ...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong in this whole thing, but I think you need to specifically program for HSA. Existing OpenCL code can't just magically work on HSA because you are copying buffers to the target device. With HSA this changes because you can just pass pointers around - access the main memory directly from OpenCL kernel.

While HSA is nice on paper the adoption in software is probably going to be really slow and hard. Perhaps we will see it in open source first, a few tidbits here and there.
