Here's what they are
saying
"We applaud the improvements AMD
has made in the AMD Opteron processor architecture
and expect these enhancements will have a
significant impact on the High Performance
Computing (HPC) marketplace. Our testing has shown
that Quad-Core AMD Opteron? processor-based
systems combined with Scali's Message Passing
Interface (Scali MPI Connect) deliver increased
performance and throughput for key HPC
applications, providing customers with
productivity gains across HPC workloads."
- -H?kon Bugge, Founder
and CTO, Scali Inc.
“We are very excited by the
performance of our simulation and modeling
software on the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron?
processor. Innovation based on simulation is a
fundamental part of the product design and
development process, and our customers require
optimized performance on state-of-the-art
microprocessor technologies. Our collaboration
with AMD allows us to fulfill those expectations,
as the performance metrics we’ve achieved clearly
demonstrate.”
- -Jim Cashman, President
and CEO, ANSYS, Inc.
“In developing the Quad-Core
AMD Opteron? 2300 Series processors, AMD has
demonstrated forward thinking, not only about the
upgrade path to simply introduce the latest and
greatest processor to help enable servers to run
faster, but the new processors are also innovative
in their approach to energy efficiency and
virtualization capabilities. Overall, the
Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors ensure that
Fujitsu Siemens Computers PRIMERY RX330 servers
are heavyweight performers for compute-intensive
database and virtualization applications in the
data center today – and tomorrow.”
- -Jens-Peter Seick,
Senior Vice President Enterprise Business, Fujitsu
Siemens Computers
"The new Quad-Core AMD
Opteron? processor is exciting for our customers
because it is the first native quad-core solution
on a single piece of silicon. Further, the
improved I/O, core and cache enhancements allow
higher performance while consuming less energy.
This is exactly what Absoft Fortran customers want
for their HPC clusters and high performance
workstations. Absoft has been working with AMD to
develop new AMD specific optimizations for its
latest Absoft Fortran compilers. These newest
optimizations show significant speed increases in
several areas and will be available to our
customers soon. Absoft is committed to further
expanding our relationship with AMD and to
continue providing our customers with the highest
performance available on AMD based computing
systems."
- -Wood Lotz, President,
Absoft Corporation
“We are extremely excited to
support the launch of the Quad-Core AMD Opteron?
processor. We strive to build solutions based on
leading innovative and reliable technology, and by
adding AMD’s native quad-core processor into our
portfolio of offerings, we are able to
significantly broaden the choices available to our
customers.”
- -N.J. Lee, Sr. VP of
Inventec Enterprise System Corp.
“We're very excited to see
new technology entering the market that fills the
gap for many of our clients who require faster
clock speeds as well as high memory bandwidth.
This advancement offered by AMD will take many of
those clients to the next level not only with
regards to density, but with overall cluster
efficiency.”
- -Shelly (Matthews)
Kelley, Vice President of Sales, Advanced
Clustering Technologies
"Angstrom’s compute hungry
customers are looking forward to deploying the
Quad-Core AMD Opteron? processor. With our
patent-pending cooling technology, Angstrom offers
832 cores per rack, setting the mark for high
density liquid cooled AMD server
solutions.”
- -Lalit Jain, CEO,
Angstrom Microsystems
“Appro XtremeServers and
workstations powered by AMD Opteron? processors
represent a value proposition based on improved
performance and memory availability for
traditional high-performance computing (HPC) and
commercial applications, while adding reliability
and flexibility for our end-users with peak
performance and outstanding value. Quad-Core AMD
Opteron? processors improve our server’s value
proposition through an enhanced cache structure
designed to boost performance and increase data
and efficiency handling, thereby reducing the
latency of accessing main memory, especially for
compute-intensive multi-threaded applications. In
addition, the architecture drastically improves
the memory and I/O latency for HPC customers that
are using 64 bit applications, and it helps 32 bit
applications run faster as well. In the end, the
importance of AMD’s native multi-core architecture
is vital for computational-intensive business
productivity.”
- -John Lee, Vice
President of Advanced Technology Solutions Group,
Appro
"AMD’s native quad-core
architecture truly helps maximize the
price-performance equation. Arima develops server
motherboard and barebone products based on
Quad-Core AMD Opteron? processors because of our
confidence in the substantial benefit to our
customers through improved computation
performance, bandwidth and
performance-per-watt."
- -LC Tsai, President,
Server Business Unit, Arima
"Selecting the right hardware
and software is complex; the wrong choice can be
quite expensive. That is why our customers come to
us for help in choosing the right components for
their web, mail, storage, or general purpose
servers. It's comforting to know that the
innovative engineering of ASA Computers matched
with the exceptional performance-per-watt and
computing capabilities of Quad-Core AMD Opteron?
processors can deliver scalable solutions for our
customers now and in the future."
- -Arvind Bhargava, CEO,
ASA Computers, Inc.
