High Performance Computing (HPC)

Benefits of AMD Opteron for HPC

• Substantial performance improvements across a range of memory and compute intensive HPC workloads in the same power envelop as the previous generation
• 8 or 12 physical cores provide higher compute density and increased system floating point performance
• Provides outstanding performance per watt for dense, scale out environments
• Support for four memory channels providing large DDR3 memory capacity and higher memory bandwidth for memory intensive workloads
• HT Assist provides superior scalability, lowers latency, and improves overall memory bandwidth performance
• Ubiquitous PCI-E® Gen 2 for high speed interconnects (QDR InfiniBand™/10GBe) & accelerator expansion (GPUs)
• Well balanced architecture for Memory, FLOPs, and Network intensive HPC workloads
• Seamless same-socket upgrade path to next generation AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processors
