[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]That statement was written by article's Josh Walrath. My 3rd party HSA app example for Radeon HD 7800 and statement was from real programmer team that worked on AMD HSA system.tormentos
He quoted from AND,my second link to the other dude was directly taken from AND it self that call HSA a hardware design and actually even claim that to take full advantage of HSA hardware makers need to think different and re-archited computers systems..
To fully exploit the capabilities of parallel execution units, it is essential for computer system designers to think differently. The designers must re-architect computer systems to tightly integrate the disparate compute elements on a platform into an evolved central processor while providing a programming path that does not require fundamental changes for software developers. This is the primary goal of the new HSAdesign.

Straight from AMD own mouth what is your excuse now.?
A driver update will not make GDDR5 and DDR3 work as one uniffied memory is impossible,GDDR5 is was faster and DDR3 would not keep up,but wait there are 2 different polls of memory,which gos agains AMD hUMA arguments period.
You loss admit it and move on HSA will not work on dedicated GPU liek it will on APU,and if that was possible now it would be out already and games would be taking advantage of it.
The current AMD GCN fully supports HSAIL (due to GCN's more flexible instruction set) and my posted 3rd party HSA app shows this case in practical terms.
A hint for you. For every CU, there's a seperate scalar processor with it's own register storage and cache. DX doesn't directly expose CU's scalar processor.
