AMD Enduro System for Developers

[Stefan]

From the consumer perspective, AMD Enduro™ technology regulates your notebook's GPU, giving you an instant boost in graphics performance when you need it and consuming almost zero watts of power when you don't. This can give you great battery life when using AMD FirePro™ professional graphics or AMD Radeon™ graphics. You can find more information about AMD Enduro technology here.

However, this means that as a developer, you don't have control over which processor – CPU, integrated GPU (iGPU), or discrete GPU (dGPU) – runs your code. This may not work for you as a developer. As a developer you may need to force your application to run on the discrete GPU.

This blog shows you how to do that
