AMD Brook +: Rest in Peace
It seemed that yesterday I wrote an article about high-performance computing on AMD video cards using Brook + technology . Then she looked optimistic, albeit with some children's problems ...
Earlier this year, AMD released the release of the 2nd version of its Stream Computing SDK. I happily went to update and recompile my software in the hope of getting some troubles that prevented me, but ...
