AMD Athlon™ 64 and AMD Opteron™ Processor Success Stories


University of Houston
"With the strengths found in the AMD64 platform, we greatly enhance our ability to contribute new insights in leading-edge national research initiatives and to serve university educational needs. We chose AMD Opteron processors because they met our performance requirements, and our experience with AMD’s reliability has been tremendous. AMD processor-based computers have been serving as the workhorses in classrooms within TLC2, so based on past experience, we know they stand up to the demands of scientific and academic use."

"“Encoding video is a very long process – full-length video content contains thousands of frames, and every frame contains a huge amount of information that needs to be processed to produce the best compression and visual quality,” says Rota. “Overall encoding time can take several hours. It’s a very time consuming process.”"
 
Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA)
"We were excited about working with AMD on a port of Advantage Ingres for the AMD Opteron processor,” McGrattan said. “We liked the fact that we can help our clients move to a 64-bit environment at their pace as well as giving them the capability to deploy their existing 32-bit applications on an AMD Opteron processor-based platform without changing a single line of code. "
 
Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG)
"A unique aspect of our relationship with AMD is that we worked very closely with AMD to develop ACML"
 
Super Computer, Inc.
"Gamers expect nothing but the best. Whoever is providing the most powerful solution is where gamers go. "
 
Ferrari
"We believe the AMD Athlon 64 processor will deliver more data analysis in less time,” said Casolari."
 
Troublemaker Studios
"We’re looking forward to the 64-bit processors. We believe they will allow us to produce dailies for Robert that even more closely resemble the final product,” said Toader, adding, “The AMD Athlon 64 processors are designed to also give us speed. You just can’t have enough speed, especially in post-production."
 
Voodoo PC, ABS Computer Technologies, Inc. and Falcon Northwest
"Performance is important to game players and enthusiasts specifically because it enriches the experience they're seeing with their games."
 
MIT
"“We’re hearing great things about the AMD Opteron processor,” said Adam C. Powell, IV, assistant professor of Materials Engineering at MIT. “The impact of 64-bit computing on the research we do is that our largest applications will be able to address more memory per process, which will improve our ability to run very large simulations of these materials processes. We’re looking forward to putting our simulations to work on AMD Opteron processor-based systems.” "
 
NVIDIA
"AMD is our number one technology partner because we share a vision of providing customers with the highest level of computing performance. We’re looking forward to taking the next step with the AMD Opteron™ processor and being able to offer the leap in performance that 64-bit computing will bring."
 
SuSE Linux
"“AMD and SuSE Linux have a proven track record of providing technology innovation that responds to customer requirements,” Geck said. “We think enterprise computing is ready for AMD64 technology and we’re excited to be a part of that effort.”"
 
Cray Inc.
"“The architecture had to work well with the existing application codes,” Kugel said. “It needed to have an open, high-bandwidth communication protocol and it had to run 64-bit codes, which have been standard for 30 years in high performance computing, while also being compatible with a large, important group of 32-bit codes.”"
