AMD Charts a Path to Java On the GPU -SemiAccurate
AMD has been ramping up their tools effort of late to support GPU compute on the server-side
and today it is Java’s turn again. As SemiAccurate mentioned a while ago, AMD is not just making
slides about servers, they are really making tools.
Two years ago, AMD announced that the Aparapi API could target OpenCL so that one could
explicitly compile Java to a parallel environment that was GPU aware. Essentially Java in, OpenCL
bytecode out.
AMD Kaveri APU – Impressive
Graphics Power Detailed -My Gaming
AMD has revealed some detailed specifications of Kaveri. It’s AMD’s next APU on socket FM2+
and is the culmination of the work AMD has put into HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture).
AMD announced that it is on track to ship Kaveri to its channel partners before the end of 2013.
More details on the APU will be available at CES 2014, with general availability to the public in
February 2014. Pricing and exact availability dates were not announced by the company.
Advanced Micro Devices is announcing new
support from hardware and software
companies today for a new kind of data
center computing, dubbed heterogeneous
system architecture (HSA).
The architecture makes it easy for a program
to use the available computing power in a
system, whether it comes in the form of a
traditional central processing unit, or CPU,
or a graphics processing unit (GPU), which
can be programmed to handle non-graphics
tasks. The idea is to help servers in data
centers to keep up with demands on the
cloud from mobile devices.
Unified Heterogeneous Computing
Arrives -Electronic Design
AMD’s 2013 Developer Summit is off to a bang with chips, SDKs and architectures. The Kaveri
(Fig. 1) Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) implements AMD’s Heterogeneous System
Architecture (HSA). HSA delivers heterogeneous unified memory access (hUMA)so CPUs and
GPUs share the same virtual address space. It means that data does not have to be copied
between CPU and GPU accessible memory as is required with most CPU/GPU environments.
The new APUs provide hQ (heterogeneous queuing) support (Fig. 2). The hQ allows CPU and GPU
applications to schedule new GPU jobs directly. Combined with hUMA, hQ delivers significant
efficiencies compared to isolated CPU/GPU architectures.

Showcased, Has
Double The
Performance Of Intel

GeForce GT630
-DSO Gaming
AMD’s Developer Summit is currently
underway and yesterday the company
showcased its new APU, the Kaveri. AMD’s
Kaveri – the A10-7850K – was put against an
Intel i7-4770K paired with an Nvidia GeForce
GT630. Without a discrete GPU – and
without taking advantage of the Mantle API
– the A10-7850K has double the
performance of the aforementioned combo
in Battlefield 4.

technologies; that the Company will be unable to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity or components to meet demand for its products or will not fully utilize
the Company’s projected manufacturing capacity needs at GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) microprocessor manufacturing facilities; that the Company’s requirements
for wafers will be less than the fixed number of wafers that we agreed to purchase from GF or GF encounters problems that significantly reduce the number of
functional die the Company receives from each wafer; that the Company is unable to successfully implement its long-term business strategy; that the Company
inaccurately estimates the quantity or type of products that its customers will want in the future or will ultimately end up purchasing, resulting in excess or
obsolete inventory; that the Company is unable to manage the risks related to the use of its third-party distributors and add-in-board (AIB) partners or offer the
appropriate incentives to focus them on the sale of the Company’s products; that the Company may be unable to maintain the level of investment in research and
development that is required to remain competitive; that there may be unexpected variations in market growth and demand for the Company’s products and
technologies in light of the product mix that it may have available at any particular time; that global business and economic conditions, including consumer PC
market conditions, will not improve or will worsen; and the effect of political or economic instability, domestically or internationally, on our sales or supply
chain. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2013.
