AMD open sources performance library

AMD has open sourced its AMD Performance Library (APL), referred to as Framewave 1.0. The chip giant said that the move will expand APL functionality beyond its existing core media capabilities, and make high performance application development easier for developers.AMD claimed that contributions by partners, customers and the broader open source community will accelerate library optimisations and feature enhancements, while AMD engineers will continue to be dedicated contributors to the Framewave project. Framewave is the result of nearly three years of effort by over a dozen developers, and comprises more than 3,200 high-performance software routines that enable developers to create multi-threaded applications for x86-class processor platforms.
