High Performance Computing with AMD 

Overview 

AMD Opteron™ processors: A breakthrough in High Performance Computing (HPC)

Today's HPC environments require demanding performance, scalability and efficiency. The AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processor delivers just that, along with a remarkable price-performance advantage recognized around the world. Here are just a few acknowledgments the new AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor has received:


The 16-core AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors are already powering several of the fastest HPC systems in the TOP500 list. As of November 2011, the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor powered the fastest supercomputers in Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Overall, AMD solutions are in 64 of the world’s top 500 supercomputers.
