AMD Loses A Corporate Fellow, HSA Expert To NVIDIA

It was just last month that legendary CPU designer Jim Keller left AMD and now the company is taking another blow with another high level departure. This time they're losing a corporate fellow and the former president of the HSA Foundation.

Phil Rogers, the AMD Corporate Fellow that's been leading the software side of AMD's heterogeneous computing products and HSA, has defected to NVIDIA. Rogers was also a major force behind the HSA Foundation and its president until he left AMD.

Rogers was a 20+ year veteran of AMD/ATI while now he'll be at NVIDIA as their Chief Software Architect of Compute Server.
