This week, AMD company managed to realize one of its old pans. AMD will develop standards for heterogeneous computing systems. Those are hybrid processors AMD, which combine graphics cores with computing.
Together with AMD participated in this initiative ARM, Imagination Technologies, MediaTek and Texas Instruments . It is clear that ARM core also uses diverse in its processors, because the graphics system built into them. Special support for HSA Foundation will provide software developers, who will receive standardized tools to work with hybrid processors.
HSA Foundation is an open consortium ready to accept new members. In addition to software solutions, the organization will describe the general principles of hardware design with a heterogeneous architecture.
