AMD Announces Open Physics Initiative
,----[ Quote ]
| A press release from AMD today announces the development of an
| Open Physics Initiative, together with Pixelux Entertainment.
| Pixelux is the developer of the Digital Molecular Matter (DMM)
| physics system used first in LucasArts' Star Wars: The Force
| Unleashed.
|
| [...]
|
| Note that this doesn't mean that Pixelux's software will be
| free or open-source as Bullet is, but that it will allow
| licenses to use a the free and open-source Bullet library for a
| base level of physics and then to license and layer Pixelux's
| DMM engine on top of that - and all of it accelerated on any
| GPU with an OpenCL driver.

Open Source: Green Vehicle
,----[ Quote ]
| These days Open Source objects of art and operating systems are
| able to compete with mainstream commercial versions. But most
| Open Source projects are in the state of pure art, defying
| established notions of conducting business, developing
| technology and pushing boundaries of creative possibilities.

MD R600/700 2D Performance: Open vs. Closed Drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| From the three different test profiles we used and the two
| graphics cards that were tested, nearly every time the open-
| source driver stack wound up being faster than the Catalyst 9.10
| driver. Past tests of other graphics cards and drivers have shown
| the 2D performance to be better on the open-source side, albeit
| these 2D tests are not very real-world representative (nor do
| they reflect the CPU usage) and on the 3D side the proprietary
| Catalyst driver is significantly faster and more feature-rich
| than the current open-source code.
