According to the Sunnyvale, California-based company, this is the best a single-core graphics card can currently deliver. The new FireStream 9270 graphics solution has been built to deliver a supercomputing-class performance, providing over 1.2 teraFLOPS of single-point precision performance, while still keeping the power consumption specifications to a typical board requirement of only 160W. "Delivering two times the double-precision floating point performance of competing offerings, and armed with 2GB of ultra-fast, ultra-high bandwidth memory, the AMD FireStream 9270 is the ideal solution for dramatically accelerating technical applications." The AMD FireStream 9270 compute accelerator was designed to address all of these concerns and more," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. Customers need to achieve ever higher performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar in order to address these problems with the same infrastructures. "The demands of the high-performance datacenter are intense, with dramatic increases in problem complexity and size every year. With the FireStream 9270, users will be able to enjoy more performance by enabling ATI's Radeon graphics processors to work with the system's CPUs. These two solutions have been designed to meet the requirements of researchers, technical professionals and IT organizations. The just launched FireStream 9270 comes with the company's latest ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK), version 1.3. Additionally, AMD is teaming up with server-builder Aprius to release a 4U rack chassis system that holds as many as eight FireStream 9270 accelerators that churn out a theoretical max computational power of 9.6 TFLOPs.Aside from unveiling its latest Opteron processors, designed on a 45nm manufacturing process, AMD has also introduced today a new graphics card, part of its FireStream family of high-end graphics products. The accelerator will be released by Sapphire towards the end of February, at a price of $1499. It supports OpenCL in Microsoft Windows and Linux environments. The FireStream 9270 is backed by AMD's Stream 1.3 SDK that can be currently downloaded for free. It features 2 GB of GDDR5 memory running at 850 MHz, with a peak bandwidth of 108.8 GB/s. The floating point format is in adherence to IEEE standards. The core features 800 stream cores that churn out peak computational power of 1.2 TFLOPs (single precision floating-point) and 240 GFLOPs (double precision floating-point). The appearance of the FireStream 9270 suggests it has been derived from the ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics accelerator, albeit different clock speeds, different drivers, four times the amount of memory, and connections. Product lines in this class includes the AMD FireStream, that finds competition in NVIDIA's Tesla. Devices of this class exploit the general purpose computing capabilities of graphics processors, back them with a software architecture, and a programming environment to make for a dedicated number-crunching machine that holds rated computational power much higher than that of CPUs. Sapphire, the single largest add-in board partner for AMD, announced its FireStream 9270 GPGPU accelerator.
