Just found out why AMD drivers have such bad reputation!

While I was browsing on GPU computing stuff, I stumbled upon this:

http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/introductory-tutorial-to-opencl/

Needless to say, I was shocked . What do you guys think?

Do you mean the part that OpenCL is young technology? That web page is almost five years old! 😉

 

[Sunius]

No. Look at the code 😀.

Apparently I still need some help with what you mean; just spit it out! 😉

I do hate that they used C++, which I personally think is harder to follow than plain C.

The code is written in a way extremely hard to read. There is no indentation, arguments in function calls are randomly spread: some are on same lines, and some are on different lines. They are basically ignoring one of the basic programming ethics: "Don't write obfuscated code".

Yes, at first I thought it was because they copied and pasted into the HTML code and it ate the spaces/tabs, but I now see they stripped them!

😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱

Guess, they shouldn't have done that!

😀 LOL! 😀

Any ways:

😀 Happy Hollydays & Best Wishes 2013! 😀
