“Magny-Cours” Zone
The new AMD “Magny-Cours” processors build on the foundation laid by the AMD processors code named “Istanbul”, “Barcelona”, and “Shanghai” which all belong to the family 10h. The new “Magny-Cours” processors builds on the same software visible features as its predecessors and add more cores, enhanced virtualization, enhanced power features and Direct Connect Architecture 2.0. See the “Magny-Cours” Zone for the software related features of this processor.
OpenCL™ Zone
OpenCL™ (Open Computing Language) is the first truly open and royalty-free programming standard for general-purpose computations on heterogeneous systems. OpenCL™ allows programmers to preserve their expensive source code investment and easily target both multi-core CPUs and the latest GPUs, such as those from AMD.
Windows® Zone
Microsoft Visual Studio® 2008 is the link between software and hardware as it enables software to leverage platform innovations. AMD and Microsoft closely collaborate during the development phase of our products to ensure that Visual Studio Tools generate optimized code for the latest AMD offerings.
Java Zone
AMD Java Labs has been working with the major JVM vendors for several years now, helping to improve JVM performance, finding ways to make Java work better across multi-core environments, deal with data concurrency more efficiently, and handle garbage collection more effectively.
Open Source Zone
AMD has a long-standing track record of collaboration with open software development communities and continues to support the open source ecosystem. In addition to providing innovative advances in computing platforms, AMD has teams dedicated to building or enhancing open source tools and technologies to help software developers code faster for faster code.
