August 06, 2014
Advanced Micro Devices has stepped up its supercomputer battle with Nvidia, claiming the graphics performance crown with its fastest server GPU offering yet, the FirePro S9150.Graphics processors are at the center of performance advances in supercomputers. Working with CPUs, GPUs speed up math calculations and scientific simulations. The world’s second fastest supercomputer, Titan, uses 18,688 Tesla K20X GPUs from Nvidia.AMD says its S9150 GPU is faster than Nvidia’s top supercomputing GPU. The S9150 offers double-precision peak performance of 2.53 teraflops, while Nvidia’s top-end Tesla K40 clocks in at 1.43 teraflops. The single-precision peak performance of FirePro S9150 is 5.07 teraflops, slightly higher than 4.29 teraflops for Nvidia’s Tesla K40.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
