Featuring the first AMD Graphics Core
Next (GCN) architecture specifically with compute workloads in mind, the AMD
FirePro S9150 server GPU supports enhanced double precision floating point
computation and breaks the 2.0 TFLOPS double precision barrier. With 16GB of
GDDR5 memory and maximum power consumption of 235 watts, AMD FirePro S9150
server GPUs provide massive compute performance while helping maximize available
power budgets.

The
AMD FirePro S9150 server GPU also provides support to handle workloads in a
variety of sectors by enabling OpenMP, an API for high-level parallelism in the
C, C++, and Fortran languages. In segments such as Oil and Gas, Computer Aided
Engineering and Computational Science, many organizations have made substantial
investments in OpenMP to create scalable workloads. AMD’s collaboration with
Pathscale to provide support for OpenMP 4.0 will allow customers in these HPC
fields to harness the compute power of AMD FirePro S9150 server GPU.
