Talk:Framewave

According to AMD
According to AMD the AMD Performance Library is now deprecated in favor of the Framewave library announced today. What is the correct thing to do here? Create a new page for Framewave or rewrite and rename this page while keeping some history about the old library? We might consider combining this page with the Integrated Performance Primitives page which is Intel's version of the same thing. Having one page that spans vendor products makes it less like an advertisement and more like an encyclopedia entry.

I did update the existing page with some minimal data about the new library.

I think we should rewrite this page. No sense in keeping an obsolete page around and the existing page really doesn’t have much going for it anyway. I'll wait awhile to see if anyone else has an opinion on this, then I may tackle the rewrite myself.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm working as a contractor at AMD. I've been here about a month. That's the only reason I noticed the Framewave announcement. However, I think I can be objective about a library like this. I'm not being paid to update Wikipepdia, I just like to contribute my little bit to the world's knowledge base.

 * From the citations you provided, it looks like AMD's official stance is indeed to replace APL with Framewave immediately. Given that, I would move the article to Framewave and edit to reflect the name change.
 * Given that APL won't go away instantly, I would still retain references to APL where appropriate, especially since the move will preserve the name "AMD Performance Library" as a redirect to the Framewave article.--NapoliRoma (talk) 19:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
