placement and is not necessarily an indication of relative performance. • Recommended for VR. Though the Radeon™ R9 and R7 300 series cards are based on a similar revision of GCN architecture as the previous generation, these products have been enhanced in a variety of ways, including power management, clock speeds, memory configurations, microcode/firmware and feature set. The particular enhancements vary depending on the card. We believe the Radeon 300 series graphics products are delivering an ideal mixture of performance, features and price to play the games of today and tomorrow.

    Comparison of Technologies for General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units

    Master of Science Thesis in Information Coding Department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University, 2016 Comparison of Technologies for General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units Torbjörn Sörman Master of Science Thesis in Information Coding Comparison of Technologies for General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units Torbjörn Sörman LiTH-ISY-EX–16/4923–SE Supervisor: Robert Forchheimer isy, Linköpings universitet Åsa Detterfelt MindRoad AB Examiner: Ingemar Ragnemalm isy, Linköpings universitet Organisatorisk avdelning Department of Electrical Engineering Linköping University SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden Copyright © 2016 Torbjörn Sörman Abstract The computational capacity of graphics cards for general-purpose computing have progressed fast over the last decade. A major reason is computational heavy computer games, where standard of performance and high quality graphics con- stantly rise. Another reason is better suitable technologies for programming the graphics cards. Combined, the product is high raw performance devices and means to access that performance. This thesis investigates some of the current technologies for general-purpose computing on graphics processing units. Tech- nologies are primarily compared by means of benchmarking performance and secondarily by factors concerning programming and implementation. The choice of technology can have a large impact on performance. The benchmark applica- tion found the difference in execution time of the fastest technology, CUDA, com- pared to the slowest, OpenCL, to be twice a factor of two. The benchmark applica- tion also found out that the older technologies, OpenGL and DirectX, are compet- itive with CUDA and OpenCL in terms of resulting raw performance. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Åsa Detterfelt for the opportunity to make this thesis work at MindRoad AB.

    Gen Vulkan API

    Faculty of Science and Technology Department of Computer Science A closer look at problems related to the next- gen Vulkan API — Håvard Mathisen INF-3981 Master’s Thesis in Computer Science June 2017 Abstract Vulkan is a significantly lower-level graphics API than OpenGL and require more effort from application developers to do memory management, synchronization, and other low-level tasks that are spe- cific to this API. The API is closer to the hardware and offer features that is not exposed in older APIs. For this thesis we will extend an existing game engine with a Vulkan back-end. This allows us to eval- uate the API and compare with OpenGL. We find ways to efficiently solve some challenges encountered when using Vulkan. i Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Goals . .2 2 Background 3 2.1 GPU Architecture . .3 2.2 GPU Drivers . .3 2.3 Graphics APIs . .5 2.3.1 What is Vulkan . .6 2.3.2 Why Vulkan . .7 3 Vulkan Overview 8 3.1 Vulkan Architecture . .8 3.2 Vulkan Execution Model . .8 3.3 Vulkan Tools . .9 4 Vulkan Objects 10 4.1 Instances, Physical Devices, Devices . 10 4.1.1 Lost Device . 12 4.2 Command buffers . 12 4.3 Queues . 13 4.4 Memory Management . 13 4.4.1 Memory Heaps . 13 4.4.2 Memory Types . 14 4.4.3 Host visible memory . 14 4.4.4 Memory Alignment, Aliasing and Allocation Limitations 15 4.5 Synchronization . 15 4.5.1 Execution dependencies . 16 4.5.2 Memory dependencies . 16 4.5.3 Image Layout Transitions .

    AMD Announces Major Technology Partnerships at Future of Compute Event

    2014-11-20 13:30 CET AMD Announces Major Technology Partnerships at Future of Compute Event ─ During event keynotes, Samsung shows upcoming line of FreeSync-enabled ultra high- definition displays and Capcom announces evaluation of AMD Mantle API ─ SINGAPORE — Nov. 20, 2014 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today at its Future of Compute event announced the introduction of the consumer electronic industry’s first-ever ultra high-definition (UHD) monitors to feature its innovative, open-standards based FreeSync technology. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., plans to launch the screen synching technology around the world in March 2015, starting with the Samsung UD590 (23.6-inch and 28-inch models) and UE850 (23.6-inch, 27-inch and 31.5-inch models), and eventually across all of Samsung’s UHD lineups. FreeSync will enable dynamic refresh rates synchronized to the frame rate of AMD Radeon™ graphics cards and APUs to maximally reduce input latency and reduce or fully eliminate visual defects during gaming and video playback. “We are very pleased to adopt AMD FreeSync technology to our 2015 Samsung Electronics Visual Display division’s UHD monitor roadmap, which fully supports open standards,” said Joe Chan, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia Headquarters. “With this technology, we believe users including gamers will be able to enjoy their videos and games to be played with smoother frame display without stuttering or tearing on their monitors.” In addition, Capcom announced its collaboration with AMD on the AMD Mantle API to enhance Capcom’s “Panta-Rhei” engine, enabling enhanced gaming performance and visual quality for upcoming Capcom game titles.
