We had a great turn out for the launch of HSA Foundation.  Also the HSA Foundation received some amazing feedback  from the press and analyst around the formation of HSA Foundation.  Most importantly we have had a very positive reception from industry and developer we really working on right problems and solving critical issue in today’s system..
Tom Malloy’s presentation really set up the day  with the need to address key issue in the system, drivers, and runtime to make it easier for broader class of programers to be able to solve the real problem and not get encumbared in bit banging the system for maximum performance. Phil Roger went back this year to look at real example where HSA can truely bring new levels of performance as well as performance per joule efficiency.
It is great to know  we are helping to bring better products to market that drive new levels of experience.  With HSA Foundation partners it will be ready from Deeply embedded systems, Smartphones,Tablets,Laptop, Desktops and Servers,  and will even scale all the way up to  HPC class Exaflop clusters.

• The IP catalog they have available with the five founders is borderline staggering, and it will only get bigger. If the HSA Foundation hasn’t gotten a critical mass of coder interest too, it will soon. From here, it looks like AMD did the right thing for the right reason, don’t underestimate this one. – Charlie Demerjian, SemiAccurate

• We have much more the learn about the HSA Foundation and its direction for the industry but we can easily say that this is probably the most important processor company collaboration announcement in many years. – Ryan Shrout, PC Perspective
