Libra 1.2 includes new OpenCL back end

June 8th, 2010

GPU Systems LogoGPU Systems has added an OpenCL back end implementation to its Libra Technology compiler and runtime architecture. Libra version 1.2 now supports x86/x64, OpenGL/OpenCL and CUDA compute back ends. The OpenCL back end generates dynamic code specifically for AMD GPUs. Also, the CUDA back end generator has been enhanced with Fermi capabilities and this new release brings full BLAS 1,2,3 matrix, vector, dense, sparse, complex, single/double standard math library functionality and access through a standard C programming interface & library. The high-level approach of the Libra API enables developers to easily extend existing high-level functionality from their favorite programming language.

The Libra 1.2 compute platform and ecosystem now supports a broad range of AMD and NVIDIA CPU & GPU compute devices, providing users a complete and dynamic cross-processor, cross-platform heterogeneous developer SDK & run-time environment. A Windows version is available for download.
