AMD Stream Processing

(Feb 2, 2008)

AMD recently announced its first stream processing board. Although it tried to promote and talked only about its flagship, AMD Firestream 9170 with 320 stream cores, from documents related to CAL requirements, we need only ATI Radeon HD2400 or better. This is good, but I'm sure that not many documents are around, and there must be some unseen issues waiting for me if I jump into stream processing stuff.

I think I should wait a year or two so that the platform will be matured.
