AMD released the new software development kit"APP sdks 2.8 ",And the brand-new unified development tool suite"CodexlIt provides necessary tools and resources for developers to develop accelerated applications on amd apu, CPU, and GPU, including a large number of examples.CodeWhite Papers, libraries, tools, etc. opencl, C ++, directcompute, etc.Programming LanguageExplore the processing capabilities of heterogeneous computing.

App sdk 2.8 provides dozens of new and improved features for opencl, aparapi, and C ++ amp. The performance of app sdk 2.7 is greatly improved compared with the previous version, the average increase in the nine key test projects has reached an astonishing 2.3 times, and it has also become the best SDK for AMD's history performance.

A preview version of AMD's new open-source C ++ template library "Bolt" is also introducedAllows developers to easily use the consistency performance and energy efficiency of heterogeneous computing platforms, while using the same code path for CPU and GPU programming, greatly reducing the amount of code.

Codexl is AMD's first unified development tool suite.By mining the computing performance of amd cpu, GPU, and APU processors on a series of computing platforms, software developers and independent software developers can enjoy all-new parallel programming, main features include extensive GPU debugging, GPU/CPU profiling, static opencl Kernel Analysis, and independent user interface, it also supports windows 32/64-bit and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x/ Ubuntu 11.10 + 64-bit operating systems.

The amd developer blog has also written several blog posts in succession, in-depth introduction to codexl tool suite, more options for AMD platform accelerated computing, bolt architecture, and the use of bolts to develop black-scoles) do not miss out on options models, bolt C ++ GPU acceleration, and other topics engaged in parallel computing development.
