US-based machine vision supplier 8300 BitFlow said it is the first frame grabber manufacturer to support workstation graphics processor units (GPU) from both NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

New software co-developed by BitFlow and the two GPU makers enables the integration of the GPUs with the BitFlow buffer interface API (BufIn) and the processing power of NVIDIA and AMD. In doing so, Bufln can acquire images and synchronise transfer directly to the memory of AMD GPUs to achieve real-time, zero latency processing.
