Maybe a interesting topic
The usage of closed-source catalyst parts in the FOSS driver
With the permission from AMD.
A great deal?
just to make sure this goes not go down in a nvidia-topic forum-threat:
How many manpower hours did Tom save with the reuse of catalyst code?
Why is AMD not advertising such a source-code donating gift?
Is it possible to use the AMD Mantle API catalyst implementation as a starting point for a FOSS Mantle to HW ISA implementation?
Someone told me that the per-app-profiles in catalyst maybe could be a source of optimizations in the Foss driver because the performance critical bits are known in the catalyst app-profiles.
could the ATI Overdrive implementation help to build a FOSS over-clocking tool?
Will there be a Wayland (display server protocol) implementation in the catalyst? and if so can it help the Foss driver?
It would be interesting what else can be used in the Foss driver from the catalyst ?
