AMD has shown off a new system dubbed ‘Teraflop in a Box’ in San Francisco. The Accelerated Computing system runs Windows XP Professional and is powered by high-end processors that include AMD Opteron dual-core which is further combined with two AMD R600 Stream Processors. The result of this engineering is a system that is capable of performing more than a trillion floating point calculations in one second using general MADD calculations. This system is capable of a ten-fold performance increase over other high-performance servers that can do 100 billion calculations per second. According to AMD the system will find great applications in defense, scientific, business and security computing.
