AMD Opteron Processors Power Fujitsu Systems Europe's New Enterprise Applications Center.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- World's First Benchmarking and Applications Lab Fully Based on the AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron Processor Brings New Levels of Performance to Enterprise Customers AMD (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD) today announced that Fujitsu Systems Europe (FSE FSE 1. feline spongiform encephalopathy. 2. focal symmetrical encephalomalacia. ) has chosen AMD Opteron(tm) processor-based cluster solutions for its first worldwide enterprise center in Toulouse, France. In response to increasing requests for access to AMD Opteron processor-based systems in Europe, FSE has put together the world's first fully AMD Opteron processor-based lab designed to meet the demanding application testing application testing - system testing and benchmarking needs of enterprise users and software partners. Based on AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture, the AMD Opteron processor is the only 32- and 64-bit capable x86 processor for servers and workstations available today. By eliminating the bottlenecks inherent in a front-side bus, the AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture improves overall system performance and efficiency. Its exceptional capacity for performance on demand makes it ideal for the high-performance benchmark and application testing context, delivering enhanced levels of performance in a range of applications including crash analysis, computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics The numerical approximation to the solution of mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer. Computational fluid dynamics is one of the tools (in addition to experimental and theoretical methods) available to solve and financial engineering. "The concept of an enterprise lab run entirely on AMD Opteron processor-based clusters is the perfect example of the relevance of AMD's customer-centric philosophy: we enable Fujitsu Systems Europe to deliver the most adapted business answer to its customers," said Henri Richard Joseph Henri Richard (born February 29, 1936 in Montreal, Quebec) is a former professional ice hockey player who played centre with the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1955 to 1975. , executive vice president, AMD Worldwide Sales and Marketing. "AMD's strong commitment to an industry-standard, pervasive 64-bit computing environment is proving to be the right one -- especially in the enterprise segment, where reliability, scalability and security are among the top priorities for IT decision makers. We are moving closer to the day when 32-bit-only systems will become obsolete." "It is no surprise that enterprise users increasingly demand the power and performance of the AMD Opteron processor for their high-performance computing High-speed computing, which typically refers to supercomputers used in scientific research. requirements," said Naoya Tamura, chief executive officer, Fujitsu Systems Europe. "Our customers and partners have experienced significant gains in performance by using the AMD Opteron processor to run a wide variety of resource-intensive applications." About the AMD Opteron(tm) Processor The world's first 32-bit and 64-bit processor compatible with the x86 architecture The generic term x86 refers to the "CISC" type instruction set of the most commercially successful CPU architecture[1] in the history of personal computing, used in processors from Intel, AMD, VIA, and others. , the AMD Opteron processor is based on AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture. Direct Connect Architecture helps eliminate the bottlenecks inherent in a front-side bus by directly connecting the processors, the memory controller and the I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output to the central processor unit to enable improved overall system performance and efficiency. AMD also was the first to announce the completion of an x86-based dual-core processor design for 64-bit computing. As more solution providers join the AMD64 ecosystem, the industry is approaching the day when 32-bit-only systems will become obsolete.
