Opteron |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
OpteronA family of 64-bit CPU chips from AMD, formerly code named Sledgehammer (part of the Hammer line). Introduced in April 2003, the Opteron fully supports 32-bit applications, but requires that programs be optimized and recompiled to take full advantage of the 64 bits. The 64-bit version of Windows XP also takes advantage of the increased CPU word size. Intended for servers and high-end workstations, the Opteron competes with Intel's Xeon and Itanium lines. AMD subsequently introduced 64-bit Athlon CPUs (see Athlon). How to thank TFD for its existence?

This groundbreaking supercomputer,
powered by more than 500 AMD Opteron processors and one of the most
advanced in Formula One and the automotive industry, will act as the
"brain" for the team's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
center. Barcelona' will build on this value proposition
while delivering industry-changing dynamics to the x86 server market,
much like the original AMD Opteron processor did in 2003. Building on an impressive debut on the
TOP500 list in November 2003, AMD Opteron processor-based systems appear
three times among the top 20 on the most recent list. |
