CAPS, the pioneer in directive-based compiler technology with its HMPP flagship workbench, is pleased to announce the release of two new AMD CAL/IL and OpenCL back-end code generators, plus support for Windows operating system, thus expanding the field for new HMPP adopters.
While CAL/IL leverages the performance of AMD Stream processors, OpenCL perfectly matches HMPP code generation. OpenCL brings a low level API that enables to fine tune the programming of parallel processors from various hardware vendors coupled to general purpose CPU processors. HMPP positions itself as a high level abstraction for manycore programming, thus removing developers need for a deep knowledge of the underlying hardware architecture.
