Shiny AMD: Petaflops cloud computing announced
Advanced Micro Devices unveiled plans for the company's AMD Fusion Render Cloud, a massively-parallel supercomputer, which will deliver next-generation games and applications. According to AMD, the new supercomputer is designed to break the one petaFLOPS barrier, and to process a million compute threads across more than 1,000 graphics processors.
"AMD has a long track record in the supercomputing world. Seven out of 10 of the world's fastest machines, including the fastest two computers on the planet, are powered by AMD hardware," said Meyer.
The AMD Fusion Render Cloud will be powered by AMD-optimized hardware including the Phenom II processors, 790 chipsets and ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics processors.
