[News]

NVIDIA and the CUDA programming model have been getting all the attention
for GPGPU computing recently but AMD wants to fight back with news of its
update to the ATI Stream programming model that will include a completely
free transcoding application in December.

Quote: "AMD claims to have 2 million HD 4000 series GPUs in the market
creating a pretty large user base for ATI stream compatible applications.
As of today, stream applications are NOT enabled with publicly available
drivers but that will be addressed in the next revision of Catalyst coming
in December. Once that update is ready, all 2 million of the Radeon HD
4000-series cards should be stream compute ready and will be able to
download the new Avivo Transcoder for free as well."

Thanks for a post!
