No. AMD along with the open source community are working to mask the GPU’s graphics programming heritage. This is being accomplished by our release of Brook+, the open source Brook compiler plus AMD enhancements geared directly at non-graphics stream computing, and AMD’s CAL — Compute Abstraction Layer. CAL provides high-level language access to the various parts of the GPU as needed.
