AMD has launched ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.2 with full OpenCL 1.1 support to provide developers with the tools they need to build NxG applications.
The development platform brings a range of tools to the developer community including support for OpenCL 1.1, in addition to Ubuntu 10.04 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5.
It enables build applications like 3D video, HD video chat and multi-display 3D gaming, by taking advantage of both CPU and GPU processing power in a given system, the company said.
AMD director of Stream Computing Patricia Harrell said that the enhancements in the ATI Stream SDK v2.2 are especially important due to the support for OpenCL 1.1, which is integral to the forthcoming AMD Fusion family of APUs.
"These tools allow the developer community to take advantage of heterogeneous computing architectures both today and tomorrow," Harrell said.
ATI Stream SDK v2.2 offers increased hardware support including x86 CPUs with SSE2.x; additional support for Linux and Windows compilers; single-channel format support for OpenCL images; support for OpenCL and DirectX 10 interoperability; and support for additional double-precision floating points routines in OpenCL kernels.
