Here's what they are saying
Within our growing base of commercial customers, Panasas continues to see widespread adoption of the AMD Opteron processor platform for Linux clusters. Our Panasas ActiveScale Storage Cluster and AMD Opteron processors are enabling the emergence of Linux clusters as a viable mainstream high-performance computing solution, increasing the speed and accuracy of business decisions, and enabling customers' to create a competitive business advantage.
- -Larry Jones, Vice President of Product Marketing, Panasas, Inc.
Until today, enterprises that develop 64-bit Linux applications had no way to test for memory errors. Insure++ is the only memory error detection solution that works for Linux applications on 64-bit AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture and can identify the cause of threaded memory errors in dual-core applications.
- -Mark Johnson, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Parasoft Corporation
Any organization that plans to develop Linux applications to run on Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors can count on PathScale's hardware and software solutions to achieve the highest possible performance. PathScale has focused its development efforts to capitalize on the capabilities of dual-core processor systems. EKOPath compilers generate high-performing applications on dual-core processors and the InfiniPath low-latency interconnect exploits dual-core processors to allow systems to scale more efficiently and more cost effectively than other interconnect alternatives.
- -Art Goldberg, COO, PathScale
The AMD Opteron processor is one of the reasons we are able to provide customers with the strong price/performance ratio we are known for in scalable, robust high performance computing and datacenter Linux solutions. Because of the strong commitment at AMD to develop higher performance processor capabilities, such as the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture and the best performance-per-watt in the industry, more of our customers in the high performance computing market are able to take advantage of powerful, cost-effective technologies such as Linux clusters.
- -Enrico Pesatori, Chairman and CEO, Penguin Computing
Based on the early results we've seen from commercial science and engineering applications on Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors, it is clear that the day has arrived when every application needs to be parallel-enabled. Parallelizing compilers like those from The Portland Group are designed to make efficient use of multiple cores on Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor-based systems with a minimum of effort from programmers. We look forward to continuing to work with AMD and application developers to help them fully exploit the capabilities of these powerful new processors.
- -Douglas Miles, Director, The Portland Group
Our customers have been very pleased with the AMD Opteron™ processor with Direct Connect Architecture for its superior memory transfer rate with the memory space for more than 4GB in a 64-bit computing environment. We have developed server and workstation systems with up to 32GB of memory spacing and now are moving into the 64GB system with the latest AMD Opteron processor Model 852. As our customers require not only the large memory space but also the great CPU power [that] comes with the 64-bit computing. We are looking forward for this latest release of the
AMD Opteron processor Models 252 and 852, to deliver the enhanced performance our customers require.
- -Takayoshi Shiina, President, Proside Corp.
AMD's solution to address Moore's law is becoming more obvious. By adding processor cores, Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors can continue to increase performance while keeping power consumption to a minimum. AMD dual-core technology enables users to increase their computing capacity without increasing power requirements, providing the best performance-per-watt ratio in the industry.
- -Alex Lesser, CEO, PSSC Labs
On the second anniversary of the AMD Opteron processor, PTC is pleased to reaffirm their support for the innovative, high performance AMD64 architecture. The upcoming release of a natively ported 64-bit version of Pro/ENGINEER for use on the AMD Opteron processor allows customers to work more effectively on some of the most demanding engineering and design challenges, with assemblies of any size or complexity.
- -Michael Campbell, Vice President, Product Management, PTC
It is incredibly exciting to see AMD’s dual-core processors come to market. As one of the world’s largest providers of AMD Opteron processor-based servers, we are pleased to offer a new series of solutions to our customers that truly raise the bar on performance and efficiency.
- -Giovanni Coglitore, Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Rackable Systems
Our latest release, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, is focused on delivering unprecedented levels of performance, scalability, security and platform stability. Our first planned upgrade to this distribution will further enhance the user experience by leveraging the muscle of AMD64 dual-core technology. This upgrade is scheduled to be available when AMD releases its dual-core AMD Opteron processors.
- -Brian Stevens, Vice President of Operating Systems Engineering, Red Hat, Inc.
