AMD的圖形開發團隊昨日推出1.4版本Stream軟體開發包。Stream SDK1.4版本大大增強了ATI自家圖形晶片在通用GPU應用領域的能力。Stream SDK1.4版本可以更好地與Visual Studio2008開發環境協同工作，Brook+運行時程式的性能也得到增強，還支持memory pinning與asynchronous stream write call。

AMD stream SDK

Stream SDK1.4版本提供了增強版本的Brook+進階程式編輯語言，也能夠在更多ATI Radeon系列家用卡以及Fire系列專業卡上使用

這是官方介紹：
The ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) is a complete development platform created by AMD to allow you to quickly and easily develop applications accelerated by ATI Stream Technology. The SDK allows you to develop your applications in a high-level language, ATI Brook+. The Brook+ compiler and runtime layer handle the low-level details for you so that you can concentrate on implementing your algorithms on the GPU. Brook+ is built on top of ATI Compute Abstraction Layer (CAL), which gives you low-level control and programmability of the hardware.

When combined with other AMD tools and libraries optimized for ATI Stream, the ATI Stream SDK offers a complete development platform for implementing, debugging and optimizing your applications to take advantage of the tremendous parallel computational power available with ATI Stream products.
