AMD is going to sell GPGPU-applications through its driver

It seems that the model of the digital store applications is becoming more common: almost every major companies engaged in IT-sector, is planning something similar. By now one of the last can be attributed, and AMD. During the CES 2011 the company launched the first accelerated processor platform Fusion, which combine on a single chip CPU and GPU.

Although now relatively few applications that use GPGPU (general-purpose computations using graphics accelerator), in the future the situation will change and a growing number of programs will be able to use the computational advantages of APU.

The main problem now

is how best to provide these programs for owners of PCs with AMD graphics processors or Fusion and how to encourage developers to use OpenCL and DirectCompute. In this regard, as noted by John Taylor (John Taylor), director of marketing for client products and software at AMD, the company is thinking about creating an online database GPGPU-applications that are optimized for the platform AMD.

seems also that the graphics drivers to the company, rather Catalyst Control Center, will play an important role in the spread of GPGPU. Perhaps the newly redesigned user interface – one of the steps in this direction. Well, let’s hope that the company will create a convenient and high quality way to deliver software and the future Fusion comes soon.
