"One of the reasons GPU designers can deliver huge peak performance numbers is that they've greatly constrained the architecture," says Anwar Ghuloum, a principal engineer with Intel's Microprocessor Technology Lab.

A GPU can't turbocharge your word processor, for example, or speed up your anti-virus package.

Though GPUs are extremely efficient at streaming and processing data, most PC apps are serial in nature. "Application processes that required days to complete can now be completed in seconds using a GPGPU product like ours." "With support for the latest GPGPU applications and languages, S3FotoPro provides a highly useful and versatile tool for end-users and our partners," says Michael Shiuan, VP of Hardware Engineering at S3 Graphics.

According to S3 Graphics, S3FotoPro uses smart image algorithms running on the GPU to "analyse and automatically adjust macro and micro details within a picture to enhance the picture quality".Īvailable picture enhancements include colour clarity and correction, de-fogging, skin smoothing, gradient blending and saturation and tonal balance adjustments and optimisations. S3 Graphics, meanwhile, has announced the release of S3FotoPro, an imaging application that uses the GPGPU potential of its Chrome 400/500 chips. However, as with Photoshop CS4, this extra power only really comes into play when applied to advanced effects.

You don't lose any features by not having a compatible GPU, but, as Adobe's Senior Vice President John Nack points out, a PC with a good graphics card "will blow away computers that don't have one."Ĭyberlink's PowerDirector 7 software promises "up to five times faster video previewing and rendering performance" with the help of GPU resources. Colour matching has also been shunted to the graphics chip. Photoshop CS4 uses OpenGL and GPU acceleration to improve zooming, rotation and transitions at all display levels. Using the parallel architecture of a GPU, filters can be applied to an image in real-time to provide instant results. A traditional CPU will apply each filter sequentially so that images take several seconds to re-render. The filters in Photoshop aren't that different from pixel shaders. Built with Nvidia's CUDA language, Badaboom allocates this data intensive workload to an Nvidia GPU so that the CPU can still be used for day-to-day tasks.Īdobe's Photoshop CS4 has been optimised to offload certain tasks to any Shader 3.0-compatible GPU. Ripping a DVD or converting a video file would typically monopolise a CPU-only system. More recently, we've seen the potential for faster media encoding with the release of Badaboom.

Nvidia ported Ageia's PhysX code libraries to its 8-Series GPUs after acquiring the company back in February 2008. If you've got an average graphics card like an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT, your GPU (which features 64 separate stream-processing cores) can already handle real-time physics effects.
#AMD FIRESTREAM 9270 GPU PRO#
Late last week AMD unveiled their next generation Stream Processor cards, aptly dubbed the FireStream 9170, which is a combination of AMD's FireGL Pro Graphics branding, along with their Stream processor moniker. Based on the RD580 architecture, the new card fell somewhat silently on the market and we didn't hear much more on the topic until now. Late last year, AMD-ATI introduced their first Stream processor, announcing their efforts in GP-GPU (General Purpose GPU) computing for scientific, engineering and other compute-intensive applications.
