AMD Creates Fusion Fund to Subsidize Development of Software.

As a part of its Fusion Experience Program, Advanced Micro Devices this week established its AMD Fusion Fund, which will provide financial to developers of software that takes advantage of heterogeneous multi-core processors, such as AMD Fusion chips that include both general-purpose x86 cores as well as highly-parallel graphics processing engines.
The Fusion Fund was created to initiate strategic investments in companies working on solutions enabled by the accelerated computing units’ (CPUs’) capabilities. Starting immediately, interested ecosystem companies may submit innovative proposals for investment to be reviewed and evaluated by AMD.
“The computing industry is undergoing a long-envisioned and inevitable transition from text-based computing to a digital world of natural human-to-system interfaces and rich visual experiences that are incredibly vivid and realistic. The Fusion Fund will help expand the Fusion ecosystem focused on realizing the next generation of computing for the mainstream market,” said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, AMD Fusion Experience Program and Fusion Fund managing partner.
