AMD Joins the Multicore Association’s Board
The Multicore Association, a global non-profit organization focused on developing standards that help speed time to market for products that involve multicore implementations, announced today that AMD has joined the consortium as an executive board member. As a semiconductor design innovator with the groundbreaking new AMD Fusion family of APUs (Accelerated Processing Units), AMD will help the Multicore Association drive standards for deploying multicore solutions in high performance consumer and embedded systems.
“As an industry leader in heterogeneous computing, AMD strongly supports the MCA and its mission to guide the long-term development of open standards for multicore solutions,” said Chekib Akrout, senior vice president and general manager of technology development, AMD. “Our history is marked by a commitment to innovation that’s truly useful for customers, as well as dedication to open standards and a broad ecosystem that furthers industry-wide collaboration. Our work with MCA supports that commitment. As combinations of CPU and GPU processing engines become increasingly relevant to consumer electronics, especially for mobile internet devices and many embedded systems which require low power consumption as well as high performance, there is great potential for the Multicore Association, AMD and others in the industry to work together and advance the technology.”
