Here'w what I was my emphasis: "Simultaneously with the Catalyst 8.12 driver release, AMD expects to introduce version 1.3 of its Stream SDK to developers. The new-and-improved development toolkit will bring "significant performance enhancements" to the Brook+ high-level programming language, and it will support Radeon HD 4350, 4550, and 4600 graphics cards plus a new high-performance computing card—the AMD FireStream 9270." > Anyway, it seems to me that all that is needed is to have the GPU > compiler running on the host system. > I wouldn't think that the code produced or the binding code for the > CPU would then require us to pull in glibc-2.2.5. > But then, I never used Brook+ or Cal. Me either. I was waiting until somebody in the gentoo community got things at least functional, before obtaining a high end video card for GPU experimentation and programming. I guess I'll just have to wait a little bit longer.... thanks, James
