Partially Resident Textures (PRT)
Local graphics memory behaves like a hardware-managed cache
– Texture data can be streamed in on demand
Improved memory efficiency and image quality with very large, detailed textures
– Hardware accelerated mapping & filtering for Virtual Texturing or “MegaTexture”
– Texture sizes up to 32 TB (16k x 16k x 8k x 128-bit)
– Expected to feature in next-gen game engines
– High value to apps working with very large data sets

Full encoding (VCE)
Hybrid encode mode: On high-end graphics, use OpenCL for ME / IDCT / MC and VCE for entropy encoding. Faster than realtime encoding.
VCE full encode mode: On low-end graphics, use VCE for the entire encoding. Lower power consumption compare to CPU encoding.

Media Processing Instructions
SAD = Sum of Absolute Differences Critical operation for many video & image processing
algorithms – Motion detection
– Gesture recognition
– Video & image search
– Depth extraction
– Computer vision
SAD (4x1) and QSAD (4x4) instructions – Evaluate up to 64 pixels per CU per clock cycle
Maskable MQSAD instruction – Allows background pixels to be ignored
– Accelerated isolation of moving objects

AMD Radeon™ HD 7900, QSAD in Motion Estimation of Steady Video
Used in Steady Video 2.0, this instruction enables unprecedented acceleration to detect motion in the video To detect random shifts +/-32 pixels in any
possible direction: − The number of SADs/sec for
1920x1088@60Hz = 513,382,809,600 − Over 513 billion calculations − All processing must happen in few
millisecond to keep real-time playback
AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 Series: new QSAD instruction can deliver 10x speed-up over CPU for motion estimation3 allowing time for
more sophisticated processing for best in class video quality

Introducing WinZip 16.5
The fastest, most trusted method for securing, storing and sharing files is about to get a lot faster Working closely with AMD, WinZip is using OpenCL to accelerate the WinZip engine
– Accelerating Deflate compression – Inflate decompression, and – AES encryption
WinZip 16.5 is being optimized for AMD Fusion and Radeon Graphics – Fast memory access on Fusion APUs – Massively parallel operation favors the most powerful discrete graphics – OpenCL allows workload to be spread across CPU, integrated GPU, and discrete graphics
