GPU simulator ATTILA gets a site

ATTILA, the GPU simulator under development at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Spain, has a new website that shows off just what the program can do. There's a rather deep explanation of how ATTILA functions, both at the simulated hardware and software levels, as well as screenshots of OpenGL applications running on ATTILA (not in real-time, of course).

ATTILA has been used by both IHVs to demonstrate the benefits of unified architectures. If you're interested in how GPUs function at a very low level, it's certainly something worth checking out. One of the researchers, Victor Moya, is a regular in the B3D forums under the name RoOoBo, and he's been more than happy to answer questions about it.
