Embedded CPU integrates GPU
22 June 2011
Computer/Embedded Technology
AMD’s new Embedded G-Series platform is said to be the world’s first to integrate both a low-power CPU and an advanced, DirectX 11 capable GPU into a single embedded accelerated processing unit (APU).
Working in conjunction with the advanced x86 processor cores, the APU’s multiple vector cores enable software developers not only to create innovative new number crunching applications that expand embedded computing application areas, but also enable many existing embedded computer applications to run faster without exceeding the existing power envelopes of SFF devices. Support for new tools such as DirectCompute and OpenCL for thread-level and data-parallel application development simplifies the task of creating new applications.
The new APUs include a variety of critical system elements, including memory controllers, I/O controllers, specialised video decoders, display outputs and bus interfaces. For graphics intensive applications, the platform also supports dual independent displays through a variety of interfaces, including DisplayPort, DVI and HDMI as well as the embedded interfaces LVDS and VGA at a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 pixels.
The G-Series offers an array of performance options, ranging from a 1,2 GHz single-core APU up to the 2 x 1,6 GHz dual core variants.
