AMD demos prototype 64-bit Microsoft Windows OS running servers.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. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD) recently demonstrated a prototype version of the 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system using 64-bit Microsoft Internet Information Server See IIS. Microsoft Internet Information Server - Internet Information Server (IIS (Internet Information Services) Microsoft's Web server. IIS runs under the server versions of Windows, adding HTTP server capability to the Windows operating system. ), 64-bit Terminal Services and 64-bit Microsoft Internet Explorer See Internet Explorer. running on Newisys Khepri systems based on the upcoming AMD Opteron processor. AMD also showed 32-bit Microsoft Office XP running on the upcoming 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system and demonstrated the ability to access data and files between both 32- and 64-bit applications. "Today's demonstration shows the promise of concurrent 32- and 64-bit application and platform interoperability, providing customers an easy migration path as they move their 32-bit Microsoft software investment to the power of 64-bit computing," said Marty Seyer, vice president of server business segment for AMD's Computation Products Group. "Tomorrow's systems based on AMD Opteron processors will allow customers to migrate to 64-bit computing while maintaining 32-bit compatibility, protecting our customers' technology investment. Support for customer-paced migration is part of the AMD 64-bit platform value proposition, allowing customers to simplify their business." Also recently, AMD demonstrated 32-bit Fluent 6.0 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 (CFD) software running on the upcoming 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system on a four-way AMD Opteron processor-based server. Fluent software is used for simulation, visualization, and prediction of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions, and is typically used in a multiprocessor or clustered computing environment. Fluent software is used in a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, chemical/process, and power generation. The upcoming 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system and AMD Opteron processors will provide customers a scalable, high-performance platform for both 32- and 64-bit compute-intensive applications. |
