CAPS HMPP Grows to Include Fermi and OpenCL

Been a while since I heard from CAPS, the company that makes the interesting hybrid development IDE for GPU code, but they’ve just released a new announcement of a new version that adds support for the OpenCL libraries and new Fermi cards. But that’s not all:

The CUDA back-end generator has been enhanced with Fermi capabilities and this release brings support for more native compilers with Intel ifort/icc, GNU gcc/gfortran and PGI pgcc/pgfort compilers, enabling developers to freely use their favorite compiler with HMPP 2.3.
