User Manual	November 21st, 2008

Click on "Modify Group (Show Devices)". This will open a separate show device viewer window.

Figure 3-10: Device Group

If any modifications are done to the device group, then they will be saved with the BSD. Note that it is possible to modify a device group to a point where its children look nothing like the original device.

3.3.4 Shell Automation Commands for Device Groups

The shell automation commands that are used for a device also work for a device group. For example, shell.KnownDevices lists all known devices (both device libraries and device groups). For example, a device group exposes ports and connections, so “shell.AvailablePorts” and “shell.Connect” etc. work with a device (regardless of whether it's a group or a library).

3.3.4.1 Device Tree

You can optionally reference a device in the parent and child grouping device tree, using the syntax separator " ->" between device parent and child, and "-> Machine #1" as the root device. Here are some examples, using a machine and platform that just has two "4 core Node" devices...

1 simnow> shell.createddevices "4 core Node #0" "4 core Node #1"

1simnow> shell.CreatedDevices "-> Machine #1" "4 core Node #0"

"4 core Node #1"

1 simnow> shell.createddevices "-> Machine #1 -> 4 core Node #0"

Cpu:0	"AweSim Processor #0"
Cpu:1	"AweSim Processor #1"
Cpu:2	"AweSim	Processor	#2"
Cpu:3	"AweSim	Processor	#3"
sledgenb:0	"AMD 8th Generation Integrated Northbridge #4"

1 simnow> shell.createddevices "-> Machine #1 -> 4 core Node #1"

Cpu:4	"AweSim Processor #0"
Cpu:5	"AweSim Processor #1"
Cpu:6	"AweSim	Processor	#2"
Cpu:7	"AweSim	Processor	#3"
sledgenb:1	"AMD 8th Generation Integrated Northbridge #4"

4.4.5 specifications

AMD 4.4.5 is a robust version of the AMD software ecosystem that focuses on enhanced performance, stability, and efficiency for users relying on AMD processors and graphics cards. This iteration brings various features and technologies designed to optimize gaming, professional applications, and general computing tasks.

One of the standout enhancements in AMD 4.4.5 is the integration of Smart Access Memory technology, which allows the CPU to access the full graphics memory directly. This feature enhances data flow between the CPU and GPU, leading to improved frame rates and overall performance, especially in memory-intensive games. Users can experience a marked increase in gaming performance without the need for additional hardware upgrades.

Another significant feature introduced is the updated Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition. This software update encompasses optimizations for various games, ensuring that gamers can enjoy a seamless experience with the latest titles. The Adrenalin interface also provides features such as Radeon Chill, which helps reduce power consumption during less demanding scenes, and Radeon Anti-Lag, designed to minimize input lag and enhance responsiveness in competitive gaming.

Additionally, AMD 4.4.5 brings the latest drivers that include important performance enhancements and bug fixes that allow for greater system stability. Regular updates ensure that users have the best experience with their AMD hardware, and it significantly bolsters compatibility with the latest gaming titles and software applications.

AMD's Enhanced Sync technology offers users the ability to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering while delivering smooth gameplay. It dynamically synchronizes the refresh rate of the display with the frame rates produced by the GPU, improving the visual experience significantly.

With the introduction of FidelityFX Super Resolution, AMD continues to bolster its suite of technologies that enhance graphics quality and performance. This feature allows lower-resolution images to be upscaled effectively, making it easier for users to enjoy high-end visuals without taxing their hardware excessively.

In summary, AMD 4.4.5 represents a comprehensive update for users by integrating cutting-edge technologies that cater to a wide range of applications from gaming to content creation. With enhancements across the board, AMD reaffirms its commitment to providing high-performance solutions that keep pace with the ever-evolving technology landscape. Whether for gaming aficionados or professional creators, the capabilities offered in this version make it a significant milestone in the AMD software ecosystem.
