    "Additionally, they recommend using a "Intel Haswell or newer" processor whether it be a Core i5/i7 or Xeon CPU with no apparent support for their own AMD processors."

    Hrmm... according to some people around here, all Intel processors are NSA spy machines. Now AMD recommends Intel CPUS? Is AMD using your computer to spy for the NSA??!?!!!?

      Unfortunately there is no word on porting DX11 dependent parts of GPUOpen to Vulkan.

        Because Vulkan doesn't exist (yet).
        It won't happen until Vulkan is released.

            Github URL: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCR-Runtime

            It seems to contain binary form of runtime for Debian and Fedora.

            It was found in this post: http://gpuopen.com/compute-product/b...-runtime-apis/

              Yep, just go up one level from there to...

              ROCm: Platform for GPU Enabled HPC and UltraScale Computing - ROCm Core Technology


              ...and you should see three folders, one each for kernel driver, thunk and runtime. The thunk and kernel binaries are published together in the kernel repo for ease of installation.

              We have an initial focus on Intel CPUs for dGPU systems because we are targeting existing server-class systems and use PCIE atomics.

                AMD walks, talks, and looks like a duck, don't they? Even the all-ambiguous "some people" makes an appearance in your blurb, the extra punctuation even putting emphasis on your final words.

                  Bullrun


                  (in reference to the battle fought in the Bull Run Mountain range)


                  And

                  Bull Mountain (the codename for RdRand)


                  Coincidence? I think not!
