ATI Launches Stream Computing Technology

ATI has just announced the Stream Computing program, which promises to accelerate enterprise computing tasks using ATI’s Radeon X1900 graphics processor. This will help in crucial areas like scientific research, financial forecasting, oil and gas and database searching. Not only that consumer applications and video games are also expected to benefit from ATI’s stream computing by being able to process big data sets quicker.

In terms of benefits to end-users this initiative is expected to help game developers in a big way. They will be able to use ATI GPUs for physics processing. This will allow physics engines like Havok to take advantage of the multi-GPU solutions which are now mainstream and slowly finding acceptance outside enthusiast circles.
