The AMD Opteron processor is uniquely suited for the modeling and design applications used in clustered installations. It is based on the industry standard x86 architecture and features an integrated DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory memory controller, superior 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 throughput via HyperTransport(TM) technology and scalability for up to 8 processors without requiring external logic.
