AMD has launched an initiative GPUOpen, in which will go to promote public projects.
A key element of the initiative will be free access to the source code and documentation tools, libraries, and implementation of visual effects. This , according to developers, is much more effective to port, change and improve the software.
In addition to cross-platform initiative GPUOpen will simplify porting games consoles XBox One and PlayStation 4 on the PC. It is important to note that the source code has been published on GitHub under the MIT license in two categories: the development of games / graphics applications and tools to accelerate calculations.
Thus, AMD encourages the development of free software and will allow, in the future, to equalize the percentage of proprietary and free software, not only in quantity but also in quality. Related Products :
