SIX-CORE
AMD OPTERON™ PROCESSORS AND ATI STREAM TECHNOLOGY LEAD THE WAY AT
SUPERCOMPUTING ‘09
Each year, AMD and its channel partners gather in the U.S. to show off and
discuss the most powerful supercomputers in the world, all of which are
driving widespread innovation in HPC, technologies that eventually become
the computing norm for businesses of all sizes. For example, this year
showcased the #1 supercomputer in the world based solely on commercially
available x86 AMD OpteronTM processors – the same technology available to
you and your customers.
Some of the highlights from the show include:
- Demos of next-generation eight- and twelve-core AMD Opteron™ 6100
Series processors, currently codenamed “Magny-Cours”. These processors
feature DDR3 memory for greater throughput in HPC applications.
- ATI Stream technology demonstrations, showcasing the superior
performance achievable with both CPU and GPU technology – leading the
industry in what is a growing trend.
- Discussion and anticipation of AMD’s next-generation architecture,
codenamed “Bulldozer”, featuring a modular core design that is planned
to dramatically increase concurrency, simultaneous commands and
multi-threading capacity with up to 16 dedicated cores, all designed to
significantly improve HPC performance.
As your enterprise and SMB customers look to remain at the cutting
edge of technology, you can often look to the HPC market as one that
provides insight into what’s next. This year was no different as AMD
proved to not only empower the world’s most powerful supercomputer on the
planet, but also the most powerful GPU-based supercomputer. For a full
breadth of industry-leading products, the choice is clear.
