Microsoft Demos C++ AMP At AMD Developers Summit

[sl4shd0t]

MojoKid writes "The second day of the AMD Fusion Developer Summit began with a keynote from Microsoft's Herb Sutter, Principal Architect, Native Languages and resident C++ guru. The gist of Herb's talk centered around heterogeneous computing and the changes coming with future versions of Visual Studio and C++. One of the main highlights of the talk was a demo of a C++ AMP application that seamlessly took advantage of all of the compute resources within a few of the various demo systems, from workstations to netbooks. The physics demo seamlessly switched from using CPU, integrated GPU, and discrete GPU resources, showcasing the performance capabilities of each. As additional bodies are added, workload increases with a ramp-up to over 600 of GFLops in compute performance."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2F story%2F11%2F06%2F15%2F2338258%2FMicrosoft-Demos-C-AMP-At-AMD-Developers-Summit%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dface book) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Microsoft+Demos+C%2B%2B+AMP+At+AMD+Dev elopers+Summit%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FmffPW8)
