I'm a PC DIYer and I'm interesting in newest computer techs.
Recently I'm trying to study about GPGPU like NVIDIA, ATI, IBM etc.
There is very easy to achieve NVIDIA and ATI's test requirement.
But after some test, I found N's CUDA are more attractive.
Because they have many visible and interactive samples.
But I can't find anything like that in ATI's samples, there is only numbers and more numbers.
Are there any sample can show off ?
Yes, that's right, visual sample is what I want.
In fact, we're doing business about new generation HPCs.
And I'm testing a FireStream 9170 sample card.
So the FAH GPU2 can work with 2xxx or 3xxx but none for FireStream.
I think visual and interactive samples can catch more eyes.
I think more visual examples(like the CUDA nbody, particles, fluids, blur ) will make the streamSDK more attractive

Yes, that's it.
Don't you think visual feedback is an important reason that attract so many people enrolled FAH computing ?
But FireStream 9170 still cannot FAH, right ?
I've tried running the FAH client with our FireStream 9170. But I did not got it to work. It's a bit strange as FAH uses exactly the same DLLs as inculded in the 1.01-beta of the Stream SDK. There seems to be some hard-coded checking in the FAH client.
I also suggest that an FAH client running on a Firestream board is quite a nice eye-catching performance demonstration (of course, only when talking to the finance guys...)
