AMD today announced the appointment of Manju Hegde as corporate vice president, Fusion Experience Program.

As Manju and his team work with the ecosystem to usher in a new era of visual computing, we expect a wide range of industry leaders to embrace the future of accelerated computing through the combination of the GPU and CPU -- a combination only AMD can deliver with its AMD Fusion technology."

Prior to joining NVIDIA, Hegde was chief executive officer and co-founder of AGEIA Technologies Inc., during which he drove their quest to bring a heightened physics experience to consumers. Before joining AGEIA, Hegde served as chief technology officer and co-founder of Celox Networks Inc., and chief scientist of Minmax Technologies, Inc. Hegde has also held a number of departmental leadership, professorial and research roles at respected universities, including Louisiana State University and Washington University in St. Louis, and his work has been published in more than 30 research journals and publications.

Hegde received a Ph.

its about time apart from a couple of video encoders/distributed computing programs/wpa crackers there is nothing for the ati gpu. as the only company that makes gpu's and cpu's you would think they would be ahead on this.

mabe they got lazy because they had a cpu wheres nvidea only had the gpu so had to get it to be closer to a cpu and gave us CUDA to do it.
