The combination of AMD Opteron™ processors and our RedHawk real-time Linux operating system are providing increasingly successful solutions for complex, time-critical applications worldwide. Concurrent customers in Germany are using AMD Opteron processor-powered iHawk systems in Air Traffic Control for critical radar data recording. French customers are replacing six-processor SGI systems with dual and quad AMD Opteron processor-powered iHawk Series 870 systems for advanced music simulation and research. A well-known electronics customer in Japan is using their first AMD Opteron processor-powered iHawk system for particle element analysis and simulation of advanced toner compounds for copiers. This application used to require time on CRAY super computers. All of these applications require the high levels of performance and determinism provided by AMD Opteron processor-based systems and RedHawk real-time Linux.
- -Gary Beerman, Director of Marketing, Concurrent Integrated Solutions Division
With our strong collaboration with AMD, we have already performed successful early testing of the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors on the Cray XD1 system on a range of applications and are excited to be rolling them out to our customers. All of our Cray supercomputers, including the Cray XD1 and Cray XT3 systems, were designed to accommodate higher density dual-core processors in order to leverage our customers’ investment in these systems. As a result, customers who choose the dual-core option will enjoy improved price/performance, while continuing to see exceptional sustained application performance without the need to modify their applications.
- -Peter Ungaro, President, Cray
AMD is setting the pace in designing processors for high-performance computing, which in turn enables us to deliver products with exceptional sustained performance to our customers. The latest AMD Opteron™ processor further improves the AMD Opteron processor’s price/performance ratio and delivers increased HyperTransport™ technology capabilities, allowing us to build systems specifically for the HPC marketplace. As a result of our excellent alliance with AMD, both our Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems have been designed to be able to upgrade into this new AMD64 technology from day one, which offers our customers significant investment protection for a better total cost of ownership.
- -Peter J. Ungaro, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Services, Cray Inc.
