To bring in innovations in mobile and embedded GPU computing, Vivante, a GPU solution provider, has joined Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Foundation. HSA aims at creating a single architecture specification and standard application programming interface (API).
Through this, developers can easily adopt to optimise distributed workloads across the GPU and CPU which will ensure better performance and power efficiency in parallel computing.
“We look forward to collaborating with the consortium to define the next generation architecture for smartphones, tablets, TV/STB, embedded, networking, cloud computing, and automotive," said Wei-Jin Dai, President and CEO of Vivante.
Built on a unified software and hardware package, the Vivante HSA design will provide a single architecture spanning multiple operating systems and platforms.
Vivante products will use ACE-Lite cache coherency or a native stream interface. Vivante HSA software will be built around HSA APIs and tools that complement the existing support of OpenCL, Google Renderscript, and Microsoft DirectCompute.
It will have backwards compatibility with all existing compute-enabled products. Vivante products largely targets hybrid platforms and are designed to work directly with the CPU through a unified memory system.
