AMD has released Stream Software Development Kit, a free set of tools that software developers can use to create general purpose applications that are accelerated by AMD graphics processing units.
The newly released Stream SDK 1.2 is aimed at providing developers with increased ease of programming and broader support for the key software and hardware standards they rely on for stream development, the company says.
In addition, AMD plans to release a series of upgrades to the Stream SDK over the course of the next 18 months, for support for both the upcoming DirectX 11 and OpenCL industry standards.
The key to mainstream adoption of stream processing is through easier, more efficient programming tools and supporting development and implementation industry standards, AMD says.
