AMD and CyberLink Announce DX11 Strategic Initiative
AMD and CyberLink Corp recently announced that the companies are expanding their existing engineering engagement with a strategic focus on Microsoft DirectX 11 DirectCompute, taking advantage of the capabilities of AMDs new DirectX 11-capable graphics architecture. The companies will work together to accelerate many computationally intensive tasks in CyberLink applications, such as video transcoding, automated facial recognition and tagging, video editing and processing applications with ATI Stream technology using the full specification capabilities of the new Windows 7 DirectCompute API.
DirectX 11, a key set of features in Windows 7, enables developers to take full advantage of the GPUs found in many of todays PCs, said Mike Ybarra, general manager of Windows Product Management at Microsoft Corp. Specifically, DirectCompute technology helps accelerate the performance across several scenarios that historically took a long time to complete when just using the CPU. CyberLinks support of DirectCompute in their latest applications results in higher performance across these scenarios something that our joint customers have asked for.
