Yeah, I didn't mean AMD's ARM cores, but when the other founding members of HSA are going to use it for ARM.


Apple already is.


Reference? I cant find any evidence apple is shipping HSA devices.


As far as I understand, the A7 employs a shared memory architecture and Apple did not publicize this fact until the recent developer conference.

HSA's requirements are far broader than those provided in Metal. A7's shared memory implementation appears to be far too basic to be able to implement HSA-type API. For example, on-demand paging, user-mode queueing and ability for GPU to do CPU callbacks. Many systems can have shared memory but are not HSA compliant.
