Global Launch Partner: AMD

Redefining High-Performance Computing

In manufacturing, aerospace, life sciences, geoscience, and financial services, the most complex engineering, scientific, and numerical computations have in the past required expensive supercomputer time on proprietary hardware. But with the evolution of 64-bit and multi-core x86-based servers,  engineers, scientists, and analysts are turning to clusters of industry-standard, power efficient computers to help solve the next generation of compute-intensive challenges. This combination of affordable hardware with a growing ecosystem of software, tools, and applications is rapidly bringing high performance computing (HPC) capabilities to a broader base of users.

Microsoft and AMD bring HPC to the mainstream

With the introduction of Windows HPC, Microsoft has created an enabling operating environment that provides superior productivity for cluster computing, while also making it easy to manage and administer the entire process. And that’s helping to make HPC accessible to virtually any engineering, scientific, or analytic enterprise.

By combining Windows HPC with performance leading servers based on AMD Opteron  processors and commercially available applications, scientists, engineers, and analysts can take advantage of industry standard cluster computing solutions that provide performance only previously found on supercomputers. Now an enterprise can achieve supercomputer-level performance of up to 10 giga FLOPS  even or beyond, at an affordable price.
