12.10.2009 - AMD e CyberLink si alleano in nome di DirectCompute e DirectX 11

AMD e CyberLink hanno annunciato, con il seguente comunicato stampa, l'intensificazione del loro rapporto di partnership mirata allo sviluppo di nuove e innovative soluzioni hardware e software in grado di utilizzare le librerie alla base della tecnologia DirectCompute, che è inclusa nelle API DirectX 11, che sono parte del Sistema Operativo Windows 7 di Microsoft.

Le due aziende stanno collaborando per accelerare le applicazioni pubblicate CyberLink con le gpu ATI Radeon dotate della tecnologia ATI Stream nelle fasi più onerose dal punto di vista computazionale, come la decodifica video, il video editing e il riconoscimento facciale, tra le altre.

Al momento sul mercato è presente una sola linea di schede video capaci di supportare in hardware le API DirectX 11 e la tecnologia DirectCompute: si tratta delle ATI Radeon HD 5800, ovvero delle ATI Radeon HD 5870 e ATI Radeon HD 5850, entrambe prodotte da AMD.



AMD (NYSE: AMD) and CyberLink Corp announced the companies are expanding their existing engineering engagement with a strategic focus on Microsoft DirectX 11 DirectCompute, taking advantage of the capabilities of AMD’s new DirectX 11-capable graphics architecture. The companies will work together to accelerate many computationally intensive tasks in CyberLink applications, such as video transcoding, automated facial recognition and tagging, video editing and processing applications with ATI Stream technology using the full specification capabilities of the new Windows 7 DirectCompute API.

ATI Stream technology allows enabled applications to dynamically take advantage of both the multi-core central processing unit (CPU) and the graphic processing unit (GPU) in a PC for demanding algorithms such as video editing and transcoding from one video format to another. The ATI Radeon HD 5800 series is the only GPU hardware on the market today that supports the entire superset specification of Microsoft DirectX 11.

"CyberLink's applications are known for their intuitive experience and optimized performance," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "DirectCompute enables our engineers to significantly ramp up the pace of development of our GPU accelerated software. Thanks to AMD's compelling PC platforms with ATI Stream technology and support for DirectX 11, CyberLink is leading the industry in accelerating photo and video software performance with DirectCompute."

As the first software developer to take advantage of ATI Stream technology to leverage multi-core CPUs and GPUs to accelerate execution of highly parallel functions, CyberLink continues to set new standards of performance and interactivity across their product offerings.

"DirectX 11, a key set of features in Windows 7, enables developers to take full advantage of the GPUs found in many of today’s PCs," said Mike Ybarra, general manager of Windows Product Management at Microsoft Corp. "Specifically, DirectCompute technology helps accelerate the performance across several scenarios that historically took a long time to complete when just using the CPU. CyberLink’s support of DirectCompute in their latest applications results in higher performance across these scenarios – something that our joint customers have asked for."
