AMD's OpenCL Allows GPU Code To Run On X86 CPUs

Posted by timothy on from the now-that's-something-like dept.

eldavojohn writes "Two blog posts from AMD are causing a stir in the GPU community. AMD has created and released the industry's first OpenCL which allows developers to code against AMD's graphics API (normally only used for their GPUs) and run it on any x86 CPU. Now, as a developer, you can divide the workload between the two as you see fit instead of having to commit to either GPU or CPU. Ars has more details."

    I *could* use a bicycle to commute miles to work, but there's no reason to since I already have a car.
