AMD Releases New 3D/Compute GPU Documentation

[smitty3268]

Just thinking...
Will we have better opensource AMD drivers as a consequence? What about old hardware, it will be really affected?

In example: I have a E-350 APU, so I download the docs and use it for optimize the driver for my GPU?


Obs.: anyway congrats to all devs for doing such a hard work, docs are very boring to produce and keep updated.

I think it's mostly about documenting the existing driver code. So if someone new wants to get into driver development, they have a good place to lookup explanations of what the code is doing. In terms of improving the driver, it will probably be most used when trying to figure out why something is buggy and looking to see if the driver matches what the specs say it should be doing or if there may have been a typo.
