An Israeli Start-Up, Lucid Logic Technologies claims to have designed a chips able to distribute processing load over multi GPU cores in a real-time manner. The company claims that its new parallel graphics technology that will allow PC manufacturers to satisfy constantly growing consumer demand for visual reality.
The real-time distributed processing engine, called HYDRA™, offers a groundbreaking approach to scaling 3D graphics performance in a multi-GPU environment. Outlined for the first time on the new Lucid Web site at www.lucidlogix.com, the novel technology is the industry's first to work with any GPU, any CPU or chipset and on any application that gamers and professionals may choose.
The HYDRA engine combines a system-on-chip with exclusive software technologies that efficiently load-balances graphics processing tasks, delivering another industry breakthrough: near-linear to above-linear performance with two, three or more graphics cards. All together, the technology means people will be able to customize and tweak their PC to achieve the price, performance and power balance they want - whether it is a mainstream system or a high-performance gaming package.

As usual very broad and attractive claims, but let’s see how it will evolve in the near future, for sure, a chips that would be GPU, CPU, chipset and OS independent could be used straight into any computers, including Macs of course, it would be especially useful in Mac Pro.
