First Heterogeneous System Architecture 2016 Global Summit Kicked Off Today in Beijing, China - Seite 2

• Greg Stoner, Chairman and Managing Director, HSA Foundation

"Today the market demand for high-performance parallel computing is exploding in the fields of Machine Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, AR / VR, Software Defined Radio, and more. All of these systems are heterogeneous systems. HSA facilitates programming of these systems by enabling GPUs, DSPs and other accelerators to execute computationally expensive workloads in a complex SoC more effectively and efficiently than a CPU. We are very delighted that this event brought attention to a wide range of attendees including chip designers, hardware and software developers, programmers, and even system integrators. These companies will play a key role in building the HSA ecosystem."

• Kerry Li, CEO, HuaXia General Processor Technologies

"Heterogeneous processing represents the future of computing across a wide range of applications. At Imagination, our IP is already used extensively in heterogeneous SoCs. We are focused on making it as easy as possible for customers and developers to create and program next-generation SoCs which will be increasingly complex, and will undoubtedly use IP from multiple vendors. We are delighted to join with other industry experts at this first HSA Summit to discuss the critical issues surrounding the future of processing."

• James Liu, VP and General Manager China, Imagination Technologies

"As the market leader in mobile and home entertainment SOC products, MediaTek continues to deliver superior performance with high energy efficiency that provides exceptional user experiences through cutting-edge heterogeneous computing technologies such as Tri-cluster, deca-core architecture, Deep Learning initiatives and advanced multimedia features. We applaud the HSA Foundation's efforts to further grow the ecosystem in China, and we wish the HSA 2016 Global Summit a great success."

• Ryan Chen, General Manager of Computing System Engineering, MediaTek

"As a sponsor member of HSA Foundation, AMD is committed to supporting an open ecosystem where developers can choose freely. As a feature-rich open-source software platform, ROCm helps to realize optimization in super-large-scale multi-GPU computing, and support a more inclusive software engineering community, so as to provide developers with an optimal and simple programming environment. We hope to promote more academic research and business innovation in open-source architecture. We also hope to utilize the open-source architecture to develop more user interfaces and tools together with our partners."

• Allen Lee, Corporate Vice President of Engineering and General Manager, China R&D Center, AMD

About the HSA Foundation
The HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) Foundation is a non-profit consortium of SoC IP vendors, OEMs, Academia, SoC vendors, OSVs and ISVs, whose goal is making programming for parallel computing easy and pervasive. HSA members are building a heterogeneous computing ecosystem, rooted in industry standards, which combines scalar processing on the CPU with parallel processing on the GPU, while enabling high bandwidth access to memory and high application performance with low power consumption. HSA defines interfaces for parallel computation using CPU, GPU and other programmable and fixed function devices, while supporting a diverse set of high-level programming languages, and creating the foundation for next-generation, general-purpose computing.
