ATI Stream SDK 2.2 unterstützt OpenCL 1.1

AMD hat das ATI Stream SDK 2.2 veröffentlicht, das nun OpenCL 1.1 voll unterstützt.

Mittels OpenCL ist es Entwicklern möglich, ihre Software durch einen freien Standard plattformübergreifend für die Nutzung unterschiedlicher Hardwarekomponenten zu optimieren.

Um das ATI Stream SDK mit OpenCL 1.1 nutzen zu können, ist ein Update des ATI Catalyt 10.7 Treibers nötig.

Als neue Features des Entwicklerkits nennt AMD:

• Support for the OpenCL 1.1 specification, ratified in June 2010, providing developers with the ability to take full advantage of the new features OpenCL 1.1 brings
• Extended operating system support, including Ubuntu 10.04, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5
• Increased hardware support including x86 CPUs with SSE2.x or later, allowing users to run OpenCL applications on a greater variety of CPUs
• Additional support for Linux and Windows compilers, including GNU Compiler Collection 4.1 or later, Microsoft Visual Studio (MSVS) 2010 Professional Edition and Minimalist GNU (GCC 4.4) for Windows (MinGW)
• Single-channel format support for OpenCL images, providing developers with greater flexibility to access the caches on the GPU
• Support for OpenCL and DirectX 10 interoperability increasing overall efficiency when displaying computed results to the user
• Support for additional double-precision floating points routines in OpenCL kernels to enable greater computational accuracy in HPC and scientific based applications.
