HP ProLiant G7 Platforms based on the AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series processors for High Performance Computing.

This paper highlights the new architectural features and performance of the AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series processor based HP ProLiant G7 Servers. It focuses on the value to the end user when applied to High Performance Computing (HPC) solutions.

Processor innovation and system architecture consolidation changed the HPC landscape over the last decade. System design motivation transitioned from government focused, research and development driven, proprietary-based operating systems and hardware to commercial driven, standards-based components, configured to meet specific customer requirements. Long term relationships between the component and systems manufacturers are essential to help provide the end-user maximum performance with the parts available. The relationship between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) and Hewlett-Packard (HP) balances the system components within a power envelope enabling a broad set of individual options within consistent standards. This balance helps protect the contributions of all the stake holders in the design while helping the customer to likewise balance total cost of ownership with their requirements.
