Advanced Micro Devices and IBM have pledged to continue their technology development alliance through 2011 and have expanded it to new areas.
Computing giant IBM has built a supercomputer that can operate at one petaflop 1,000 trillion floating point operations per second twice as fast as the world's previous fastest computer, IBM's Blue Gene.
IBM and Advanced Micro Devices are expected to announce an alliance that will lead to mainstream IBM servers based on the Opteron processor, ZDNet Australia sister site CNET News.com has learned. It's a further boost to chipmaker AMD and new blow to rival Intel's server business.
IBM has dramatically expanded a partnership to use Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron processors in its servers, announcing in the US on Tuesday a full-fledged server line geared for mainstream business use.
Big Blue will soon offer more energy-efficient dual-processor servers using new AMD and Intel chips in Australia.
IBM will offer a version of its popular database software for Advanced Micro Devices' forthcoming next-generation processor for workstations and servers.
It's getting hard to keep a place on the list of the world's fastest supercomputers.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
