" HSA defines interfaces for parallel computation utilizing CPU, GPU and other programmable and fixed function devices, and support for a diverse set of high-level programming languages, thereby creating the next foundation in general purpose computing. " It sounds like what OpenCL is trying to do, which is have a language that all of them can run regardless of vendor and device specifics. BOINC blog |

HSA includes some aspects of hardware design, which make the heterogenous environment more efficient/faster and easier to program for. Or at least that's the goal. An example is a unified adress space for all processors in the system. Think of it as something going beyond OpenCL. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |

The future of GPU programming is facilitation and enabling; what NVidia or AMD can/could do is minuscule compared to what the worlds programmers can/could do... This is being realized ubiquitously. FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help |
