Gregory Stoner from AMD presented this talk at the HPC User Forum. “With the announcement of the Boltzmann Initiative and the recent releases of ROCK and ROCR, AMD has ushered in a new era of Heterogeneous Computing. The Boltzmann initiative exposes cutting edge compute capabilities and features on targeted AMD/ATI Radeon discrete GPUs through an open source software stack. The Boltzmann stack is comprised of several components based on open standards, but extended so important hardware capabilities are not hidden by the implementation.”
