yes, I was thinking of HSA, but they don't seem to be working on it. I think it turned out to be hard, and therefore expensive, and they got distracted by staying alive by developing decent processors.
I think we could argue that tensorflow and/or pytorch has displaced any HSA interest, too. These are programming interfaces that do an OK job of abstracting from the hardware details, and are totally embraced by the most demanding field (AI).
