AMD joins The Document Foundation advisory board
The Document Foundation has announced that AMD has joined its advisory
board and will be working to support the acceleration of LibreOffice on its
processors using the HSA
architecture. "HSA is an innovative computing architecture that
enables CPU, GPU and other processors to work together in harmony on a
single piece of silicon by seamlessly moving the right tasks to the best
suited processing element. This makes it possible for larger, more complex
applications to take advantage of the power that has traditionally been
reserved for more focused tasks. While the biggest impact will be for AMD
APU users, supporting benefits of the work will improve the LibreOffice
core data structures enabling larger spreadsheets to calculate faster for
all users.
