RapidMind - eightfold increase of performance of applications on multi-core processors from Intel

29th March 2007

RapidMind Company has announced the results of the test of the experimental realization of the platform RapidMind for Intel Core2 Quad CPU processors. Software developers have already estimated the advantages of the given product, which allows to achieve the increase in performance of created applications by the effective use of resources of graphic processors (GPU), and processors Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE). Due to RapidMind, the developers can create applications on C++, using the familiar compiler routines and development frameworks and also to make the porting of final applications and prepare them for running under processors GPU and Cell BE. Successfully completed test showed that the RapidMind platform also allows you to use calculating powers of multi-core processors from Intel and AMD and guarantees at least eightfold increase in performance of launched applications.
