  4. Tip for Terry on AMD Betting Future On the GPGPU · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have a great tip for Terry,
    invest a little money in blender foundation: http://blender.org .
    They are working on new renderer based on CUDA ,with just a little support this renderer could work on openCL.
    Existence of a free and open source openCL renderer of professional quality would force closed source developers to develop GPU based renderers as well or lose customers.
    You can even invest in secret , there are other sustantial supporters of the blender foundation whose identity is not given.
