How The ATI Catalyst Driver Has Matured Since The RV770 Launch
,----[ Quote ]
| It has been two years since the ATI Radeon
| HD 4800 (RV770) series launched so we have
| gone back since that monumental hardware
| launch and have re-tested each Catalyst
| driver release since then to see how the
| performance has changed for the ATI Radeon
| HD 4850 graphics card. The Catalyst driver
| has certainly matured over the course of two
| years in speeding up the OpenGL performance
| with this hardware along with bringing new
| features to their proprietary driver, but it
| is not exactly smooth sailing.

A CUDA Back-End For Intel's Open-Source Driver?
,----[ Quote ]
| While there is the "Clover" branch of Mesa
| started by Zack Rusin for providing an
| OpenCL state tracker that can be used by
| Gallium3D hardware drivers, it hasn't yet
| amounted to much. The OpenCL state tracker
| is not yet working, hasn't been touched in
| months, and has yet to be integrated in the
| mainline Mesa code-base. However, as another
| GPGPU alternative, it looks like a CUDA
| back-end that's specific to Intel's open-
| source driver may end up being worked on.
