Applications that require high bandwidth and low latency access to system memory benefit from AMD Opteron technology, especially true for high performance cluster computing but also applicable to a large number of commercial applications as well. HP expects 2-way and 4-way platforms based upon AMD Opteron technology will provide more system memory bandwidth at lower latencies than current x86 based platforms. Also, AMD Opteron technology allows memory and I/O resources to scale with additional processing power providing increased levels of system resources as computing needs increase. Combining resource scaling with AMD Opteron’s HyperTransport technology allows for those system resources to be shared effectively across all processing units benefiting many multi-threaded applications and provides for high levels of scalability from UP to DP to 4-way processing.
