Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) said Wednesday (June 29) it acquired HiAlgo Inc., a developer of PC gaming technology. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

AMD (Sunnyvale, Calif.) said HiAlgo’s software is designed to work with AMD’s Radeon RX Series GPUs, increasing GPU efficiency and improving the overall consistency of gaming experiences. The company added that the acquisition lays the groundwork for gaming innovation in Radeon software for GPUs.

"Software is an integral part of advancing the science of graphics, enabling us to best harness the silicon of the GPU to maximize performance and deliver outstanding experiences in games and applications," said Raja Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect at AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group, in a statement.

Koduri added that HiAlgo’s software would help “future proof” the GPU by providing support for current and upcoming technology standards including 14nm FinFET process technology, DirectX12 and Vulkan API support, new display technology and experiences such as virtual reality.

AMD is the third-ranked vendor of GPUs overall, trailing Intel Corp. and Nvidia Corp., according to Jon Peddie Research. AMD also trails Nvidia in the discrete GPU market by a wide margin, according to Jon Peddie Research.
