What can we expect from RV8xx in the case of ATI streaming ?

Will these chips support transcendentals like exp() for double datatype ?

Will this support also come for RV770, too ?

When RV8xx release, will there be a new version of CAL with new features ?

ps: are there some plans to introduce init and shutdown functions in acml_gpu, because the init phase takes relative long time in comparison to kernel time ..

Best wishes

- Will this support also be available for RV770 ??

AFAIK, we can use larger 2D resources, and we have larger LDS with random access ability. UAV is also available.

I guess these hardware changes will not be usable until the next release of CAL or OpenCL.
