<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1202/powervrraytracing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Imagination Technologies outlined some plans for its far and near futures after Electronista stopped by its Mobile World Congress booth on Monday.  The PowerVR developer showed a demo of a real-time raytracing graphics engine, where an app calculates the paths of individual light beams in a scene, that it expects to reach mobile devices.  As shown in a demo running on a Mac, it could use surface p...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1112/nvidiageforce635m.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[NVIDIA took a major step towards spurring growth of its CUDA general-purpose code technology for video cards on Tuesday by posting the CUDA source code.  Developers and education now have access to a variant on the LLVM compiler that will let them add new processor types and languages.  The extension could see CUDA run on AMD's Radeon hardware, Intel's integrated graphics, and even use relatively ...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1010/amdradeonhd6850.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[AMD tonight kicked off the launch of a new graphics core generation by launching the Radeon HD 6850 and 6870.  The designs are roughly on par with the performance of the outgoing 5850 but, through a new architecture, are considerably cheaper at $179 (6850) and $239 (6870) while still being more power efficient, particularly at idle.  The chip designer claims a performance edge of as much as 30 per...]]></description>

<title>Microsoft GPU video encoding patent could hurt creatives</title>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1010/nvidiaquadro2000.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[A US patent filing published today has raised concerns as it could give Microsoft control of hardware-accelerated video encoding.  A continuance of an application for "accelerated video encoding using a graphics processing unit" would cover the common technique of calculating motion for video processing with the video chipset in a computer rather than the regular, usually slower main CPU.  Its tec...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1009/nvidia-jen-hsunhuang.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[NVIDIA chief Jen-Hsun Huang today at its GPU Technology Conference said his company would bring its CUDA general-purpose computing language directly to x86 chips.  The approach developed with the Portland Group will let systems without NVIDIA cards handle the code.  It will work best with multi-core processors and is seen as ideal for servers....]]></description>
