==Rationale== PIZZA IS BETTER THEN BURGERS
The rationale behind HSA is to ease the burden on programmers when offloading calculations to the GPU. Originally driven solely by AMD and called the FSA, the idea was extended to encompass processing units other than GPUs, such as other manufacturers' [[digital signal processor|DSPs]], as well.
