<i>Third
annual developer summit to showcase industry wide heterogeneous computing
advancements and AMD leadership in APU and GPU technologies
</i>
<b>SUNNYVALE,
Calif. – </b>AMD (NYSE: AMD) have announced that its <a href="http://developer.amd.com/apu/">AMD
Developer Summit 2013</a>[u], called[/u]
”APU13,” will be held Nov. 11-14, 2013 in San Jose, California at the McEnery
Convention Center. The company’s third annual developer summit is expected to
draw the architects and pioneers of the heterogeneous computing era, spanning
silicon design, software development and tools, academia and emerging
technologies.
Previous
AMD developer summits saw the formation of the <a href="http://hsafoundation.com/">Heterogeneous System Architecture
(HSA) Foundation</a> in 2012 and the Microsoft announcement of C++ AMP in
2011. APU13 builds on that history with engaging sessions where attendees have
the opportunity to learn more about next-generation software development,
heterogeneous compute technologies and programming methods.
”AMD
exceeded my expectations with its first two developer summits,” said Jon
Peddie, principal and founder, Jon Peddie Research. ”I saw an open and
instructive exchange of ideas on software development, tools and APIs, free
from the marketing hype that you get at many conferences.”
The
APU13 agenda includes two new programs this year:
.
The summit will feature a series of updates from HSA
Foundation members that are collectively working to build a standards-based
heterogeneous compute (HC) ecosystem. HSA defines interfaces for parallel
computation and enables high bandwidth access to memory and high application
performance at low power consumption. Additionally, HSA supports a diverse set
of high-level programming languages, thereby creating the next foundation in
general purpose computing;
.
APU13 will also hold its first AMD Ventures Innovation
Summit to highlight software and application development companies that utilize
and expand uses for AMD solutions.
”This year’s
summit will build on the AMD commitment to lead and facilitate the heterogeneous
computing era, with the remarkable attending benefits for moving the technology
experience forward. Both AMD and the HSA Foundation are excited to bring
together technology influencers from all over the world to share in our vision
and strategy for an open standard HC ecosystem,” said Phil Rogers, corporate
fellow at AMD and president of the HSA Foundation. ”We expect the summit
to not only motivate future solutions and user experiences, but to also provide
intense, provocative learning opportunities for an audience that is very
important to us.”
