Looking back at the last six month we have had exceptional acceptance of the bring HSA forward truly as standard. We are now at 22 companies and 5 academic members with still more coming in 2013.
It was just a little over year ago when I stepped into AMD to see how we could move HSA beyond a vision Phil Rogers and his team had at AMD to becoming a Industry Standard that truly scaled from deeply embedded devices, Smartphones, Smart TV’s, PC’s and also the way up to HPC class systems. We are now on the path to truly make this happen.
We have strong involvement form the best engineers and innovator from Apical, AMD, ARM, Arteris, Ceva, Codeplay, DMP, Fabric Engine, Imagination Technologies, LG, Marvell, MediaTek, MultiCoreWare, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sonic, ST, ST Ericsson, Symbio, Tensilica, TI, and Vivante all driving forward with single vision to drive innovation around heterogeneous computing.
I am also proud to say we have also started to attract some of best minds in academia to bring HSA to the next level. Feel good to be starting 2013 right.
