AMD HPC Strategy

• Deliver industry-leading solutions leveraging:• Fine-grain data parallel code support through our CPU roadmaps

• Maps very well to integrated SIMD dataflow (i.e. SSE)• Course-grain data parallel code support though our GPU

roadmaps• Maps very well to throughput-oriented data parallel engines

AMD Value Proposition for HPC

AMD continues to offer a balanced platform approach to enable success in HPC environments by offering customers the most productivity per watt for HPC deployments.
