With the development of the high-performance X1900 XFX nearly finished, ATI based its first Stream Processor design on it, announcing it as the upcoming ATI FireSTREAM together with the new Close to Metal API at SIGGRAPH 2006. GPGPUs were projected to have immediate performance gains of a factor of 10 or more, over compared to contemporary multi-socket CPU-only calculation. The interest led ATI (and Nvidia) to create GPGPU products - able to calculate general purpose mathematical formulas in a massively parallel way - to process heavy calculations traditionally done on CPUs and specialized floating-point math co-processors. Each pixel and vertex shader, or unified shader in later models, can perform arbitrary floating-point calculations.įollowing the release of the Radeon R520 and GeForce G70 GPU cores with programmable shaders, the large floating-point throughput drew attention from academic and commercial groups, experimenting with using then for non-graphics work. The line was partnered with new APIs to provide higher performance than existing OpenGL and Direct3D shader APIs could provide, beginning with Close to Metal, followed by OpenCL and the Stream Computing SDK, and eventually integrated into the APP SDK.įor highly parallel floating point math workloads, the cards can speed up large computations by more than 10 times the earliest and one of the most visible users of the GPGPU, obtained 20-40 times the CPU performance. All support 32-bit single-precision floating point, and all but the first release support 64-bit double-precision. Like the FireGL/FirePro line, they were given more memory and memory bandwidth, but the FireStream cards do not necessarily have video output ports. The FireStream line is a series of add-on expansion cards released from 2006 to 2010, based on standard Radeon GPUs but designed to serve as a general-purpose co-processor, rather than rendering and outputting 3D graphics. The FireStream line has been discontinued since 2012, when GPGPU workloads were entirely folded into the AMD FirePro line. The AMD FireStream can also be used as a floating-point co-processor for offloading CPU calculations, which is part of the Torrenza initiative. Originally developed by ATI Technologies around the Radeon X1900 XTX in 2006, the product line was previously branded as both ATI FireSTREAM and AMD Stream Processor. This package has 2 versions: animated and non-animated.AMD FireStream was AMD's brand name for their Radeon-based product line targeting stream processing and/or GPGPU in supercomputers. The best features of this package are definitely the striking stream alerts and transition, which were built with a marvelous color loop. Moving sparks and fire spots can be found cross the entire package, making sure the white background feels like a perfect fit to create a fun yet elegant design. A small hint of blue was also added to expand the color range and keep it interesting! The balance between pink and purple are one of the attributes meant to highlight the royal vibes present on this package. Impress your audience with our exclusive Royal Fire Stream Package! It's your turn to set the world ablaze □ All designs have full compatibility with Streamlabs OBS and StreamElements.
