OpenCL
Ohh, well theres a suprise perhaps you can ask
Jason Yang,Christopher Oat, and Justin Hensley how they did that....
what you ask
"That was the demo that we gave when we announced OpenCL support back in December at Siggraph Asia.

"AMD OpenCL parallel computing demo from Siggraph Asia 2008
Posted by Tony DeYoung on February 03, 2009
The first public demonstration of OpenCL functionality was given by AMD at Siggraph Asia 2008.
OpenCL is the new vendor-independent standard designed to extract high performance parallel computing out of GPUs, DSPs and multicore CPUs.
Basically the idea is that you can write your core computational code in OpenCL and voila! - your code scales to whatever processors are available.
OpenCL will greatly improve speed and responsiveness for a wide spectrum of applications from entertainment to scientific and 3D visualization.
...."
its not clear they were actually running CL on the GFx card or what that might have been, they talk about cores so implying CPU only for this first test code....
