I was not stating any opinions, rather asking an honest question.

I was glad to discover that APP SDK, and will look at it quite soon, though the device in question is not yet listed in the supported devices page http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/pages/DriverCompatibi.... I find the GPU platform as an interesting field for R&D activity and perhaps, one day, I can even build a startup which takes advantage of this platform. Time will tell



At the risk of stating the obvious, openCL seems to be their answer:

http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/stream-technolog...

I'm not sure if you're saying those efforts aren't good enough (I wouldn't know). While I am sure nvidia produces more work effort in cuda, it seems that AMD is trying to treat OpenCL as a broad standard. In that way you expect a fair amount of information from Apple regarding ObjC for example, but are probably OK with AMD not covering C++ that specifically.
