Agenda

•IAMD & Stream Computing
•IIntroducing the AMD FireStreamI9170
•IAMD FireStreamISoftware Development Tools

General Purpose GPU: Platform Processing Acceleration

Huge potential for acceleration of data parallel workloads

- Using the parallel processing capabilities of the GPU for computation

Highly efficient in handling massive amounts of data processing

- Supports 1000's of concurrent threads

Where the algorithm is well-suited to the architecture, dramatic improvements in several key metrics vs. current CPUs alone

- GFLOPS per Watt and per \$

Compute Abstraction Layer The Evolution of "Close to the Metal"

• Provides low-level access to GPU architecture
  • Published instruction set architecture (ISA) and intermediate language (IL)
• Allow developers to write in Brook+ or other HLL; then tune performance at low level
  • Forward compatibility from R600 to future GPUs
• Implements new features: DX10, DP-FP

FireStream Software Development Kit High-level Development Tools

- Brook+

– High-level language, C extensions for the GPU
- Based on Brook from Stanford; AMD enhancements will be open-sourced

- Libraries

- AMD's math library ACML provides GPU-accelerated math functions; COBRA video library accelerates video transcode

- 3^rd Party Tools

- Tools and libraries from RapidMind, etc

Compilers Libraries

Available 3 ^rd Party Tools

Brook+

ACML/Cobra

Open Systems Strategy Drives Adoption

• IOpen IL and ISA specifications ensure developers can optimize performance
  -ISupporting AMD Brook+ along with other 3^rd party high-level tools to provide a choice of familiar development environments
• IOpen-source Linux drivers and AMD-enhanced Brook+ enable developers to modify and retarget tools as needed
  -IAMD partners with systems vendors and integrators to deliver system solutions
