AMD Mantle的SDK一直都没出，但现在至少有了支持Mantle的Catalyst 14.1驱动。Geeks3D网站有个帖子列出了mantle32.dll和mantle64.dll等几个DLL中包含的函数入口。
Mantle本身存在于mantle32.dll和mantle64.dll。导出的函数接口如下：
- IcdDbgMessage
- DllMain
- grAllocMemory
- grAttachImageViewDescriptors
- grAttachMemoryViewDescriptors
- grAttachNestedDescriptors
- grAttachSamplerDescriptors
- grBeginCommandBuffer
- grBeginDescriptorSetUpdate
- grBindObjectMemory
- grClearDescriptorSetSlots
- grCmdBeginQuery
- grCmdBindDescriptorSet
- grCmdBindDynamicMemoryView
- grCmdBindIndexData
- grCmdBindPipeline
- grCmdBindStateObject
- grCmdBindTargets
- grCmdClearColorImage
- grCmdClearColorImageRaw
- grCmdClearDepthStencil
- grCmdCloneImageData
- grCmdCopyImage
- grCmdCopyImageToMemory
- grCmdCopyMemory
- grCmdCopyMemoryToImage
- grCmdDbgMarkerBegin
- grCmdDbgMarkerEnd
- grCmdDispatch
- grCmdDispatchIndirect
- grCmdDraw
- grCmdDrawIndexed
- grCmdDrawIndexedIndirect
- grCmdDrawIndirect
- grCmdEndQuery
- grCmdFillMemory
- grCmdInitAtomicCounters
- grCmdLoadAtomicCounters
- grCmdMemoryAtomic
- grCmdPrepareImages
- grCmdPrepareMemoryRegions
- grCmdResetEvent
- grCmdResetQueryPool
- grCmdResolveImage
- grCmdSaveAtomicCounters
- grCmdSetEvent
- grCmdUpdateMemory
- grCmdWriteTimestamp
- grCreateColorBlendState
- grCreateColorTargetView
- grCreateCommandBuffer

- grCreateDepthStencilView
- grCreateDescriptorSet
- grCreateDevice
- grCreateEvent
- grCreateFence
- grCreateGraphicsPipeline
- grCreateImage
- grCreateImageView
- grCreateMsaaState
- grCreateQueryPool
- grCreateQueueSemaphore
- grCreateRasterState
- grCreateSampler
- grCreateShader
- grCreateViewportState
- grDbgRegisterMsgCallback
- grDbgSetDeviceOption
- grDbgSetGlobalOption
- grDbgSetMessageFilter
- grDbgSetObjectTag
- grDbgSetValidationLevel
- grDbgUnregisterMsgCallback
- grDestroyDevice
- grDestroyObject
- grDeviceWaitIdle
- grEndCommandBuffer
- grEndDescriptorSetUpdate
- grFreeMemory
- grGetDeviceQueue
- grGetEventStatus
- grGetExtensionSupport
- grGetFenceStatus
- grGetFormatInfo
- grGetGpuInfo
- grGetImageSubresourceInfo
- grGetMemoryHeapCount
- grGetMemoryHeapInfo
- grGetMultiGpuCompatibility
- grGetObjectInfo
- grGetQueryPoolResults
- grInitAndEnumerateGpus
- grLoadPipeline
- grMapMemory
- grOpenPeerImage
- grOpenPeerMemory
- grOpenSharedMemory
- grOpenSharedQueueSemaphore
- grPinSystemMemory
- grQueueSetGlobalMemReferences
- grQueueSubmit
- grQueueWaitIdle
- grRemapVirtualMemoryPages
- grResetCommandBuffer
- grResetEvent
- grSetEvent
- grSetMemoryPriority
- grSignalQueueSemaphore
- grStorePipeline
- grUnmapMemory
- grWaitForFences
- grWaitQueueSemaphore
- grWsiWinCreatePresentableImage
- grWsiWinGetDisplayModeList
- grWsiWinGetDisplays
- grWsiWinGetScanLine
- grWsiWinQueuePresent
- grWsiWinReleaseFullscreenOwnership
- grWsiWinSetGammaRamp
- grWsiWinSetMaxQueuedFrames
- grWsiWinTakeFullscreenOwnership
- grWsiWinWaitForVerticalBlank
还有一组mantleaxl32.dll / mantleaxl64.dll，包含了这些函数入口：
- DllMain
- grAddPerfExperimentCounter
- grAddPerfExperimentTrace
- grCmdBeginPerfExperiment
- grCmdBindBorderColorPalette
- grCmdCopyOcclusionData
- grCmdElse
- grCmdEndIf
- grCmdEndPerfExperiment
- grCmdEndWhile
- grCmdIf
- grCmdInsertTraceMarker
- grCmdResetMemoryPredication
- grCmdResetOcclusionPredication
- grCmdSetMemoryPredication
- grCmdSetOcclusionPredication
- grCmdWhile
- grCreateAdvancedMsaaState
- grCreateBorderColorPalette
- grCreateFmaskImageView
- grCreatePerfExperiment
- grFinalizePerfExperiment
- grGetExtensionLibraryVersion
- grQueueDelay
- grUpdateBorderColorPalette
虽然还不知道Mantle的细节，从函数名上判断，程序可以通过Mantle建立command buffer，并且可以很容易访问显存内容，不需要各种bind。这么一来，CPU调用图形API的开销可以降低很多。所以Mantle说能比D3D快50%也不奇怪了。但相信D3D和OpenGL如果经过一些改进，也可以很容易到达同样的高度。
有了驱动支持，相信很快SDK也会有动静。
