Partially Resident Textures (PRT)

Local graphics memory behaves like a hardware-managed cache

– Texture data can be streamed in on demand

Improved memory efficiency and image quality with very large, detailed textures

– Hardware accelerated mapping & filtering for Virtual Texturing or “MegaTexture”

– Texture sizes up to 32 TB (16k x 16k x 8k x 128-bit)

– Expected to feature in next-gen game engines

– High value to apps working with very large data sets


Texture Filtering Quality

Improved anisotropic filtering algorithm

– New filter kernel weights – Reduces shimmering artifacts

seen in high frequency texture details, without blurring

– Enabled automatically – No performance cost – Fully angle invariant

algorithms – Motion detection

– Gesture recognition

– Video & image search

– Depth extraction

– Computer vision

SAD (4x1) and QSAD (4x4) instructions – Evaluate up to 64 pixels per CU per clock cycle

Maskable MQSAD instruction – Allows background pixels to be ignored

– Accelerated isolation of moving objects

AMD Radeon™ HD 7900, QSAD in Motion Estimation of Steady Video

Used in Steady Video 2.0, this instruction enables unprecedented acceleration to detect motion in the video To detect random shifts +/-32 pixels in any

possible direction: − The number of SADs/sec for

1920x1088@60Hz = 513,382,809,600 − Over 513 billion calculations − All processing must happen in few

millisecond to keep real-time playback

AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 Series: new QSAD instruction can deliver 10x speed-up over CPU for motion estimation3 allowing time for

more sophisticated processing for best in class video quality

Introducing WinZip 16.5

The fastest, most trusted method for securing, storing and sharing files is about to get a lot faster Working closely with AMD, WinZip is using OpenCL to accelerate the WinZip engine

– Accelerating Deflate compression – Inflate decompression, and – AES encryption

WinZip 16.5 is being optimized for AMD Fusion and Radeon Graphics – Fast memory access on Fusion APUs – Massively parallel operation favors the most powerful discrete graphics – OpenCL allows workload to be spread across CPU, integrated GPU, and discrete graphics
