AMD To Open-Source Its Linux Execution & Compilation Stack

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday June 20, 2012 @09:14AM from the open-source-execution-is-not-as-bad-as-it-sounds dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Phoronix, AMD will be open-sourcing its Linux execution and compiler stack as part of jump-starting the Heterogeneous System Architecture Foundation. The HSA Foundation was started earlier this month at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit and AMD plans to open up its stack so that others can utilize the code without causing HSA fragmentation. This will include LLVM code, the HSA run-time, an HSA kernel driver for Linux distributions, an HSA assembler, and other components."

There is no dilemma you follow your priorities. If you prioritize good behavior before those 10% it's dead simple decision. If you on the other hand prioritize those 10% before good behavior then it's also a dead simple decision but you probably need to reevaluate your moral.
