University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT
The University of Utah supports cutting-edge research by delivering 50 percent more work with half the power consumption, using dual-core AMD processors.
Collier County Public School District Relies on AMD Opteron™ Processor Powered HP ProLiant Server Blades for 24/7 Learning
The Collier County Public School District is currently implementing a Virtualized Desktop Initiative, with the goal of developing the largest virtualized desktop environment in the world. Instead of having traditional PCs at remote sites, the district uses AMD Opteron™ processor powered HP ProLiant server blades.
Goshen College (Indiana) & Anoka-Ramsey Community College (Minnesota)
Since the launch of the PC twenty years ago, information technology has played an increasingly critical role in higher education. At Goshen College, a national liberal arts college widely recognized for academic excellence, using AMD Athlon™ technology is keeping them one step ahead of the competition.
Department of Education & Training (Victoria)
The challenge for the Department of Education & Training in Victoria is a familiar one: running schools affordably while maintaining high levels of service to the community. After evaluating various systems, DE&T went with the AMD processor-powered machines that now provide the power for 4,150 administration desktop computers for nearly 1,700 primary and high school sites across Victoria.
University of Kentucky
At the University of Kentucky, some amazing things are being done with a supercomputer using 64-bit PCs, boldness, ingenuity, and AMD Athlon™ processors, including modeling car crashes, developing 3D models of nuclear explosions, and testing new drug products using computational chemistry.
Massey University, New Zealand
In the increasingly global education market, universities around the world are vying to attract top researchers. To attract and retain world-class academics, Massey University boosted its supercomputing power with its new Double Helix cluster computer powered by AMD Opteron™ processors.
Kasetsart University, Thailand
For a developing country such as Thailand, having a supercomputer in a university research laboratory at times can seem like an impossible dream. But with the support of AMD Far East, Ltd., the Kasetsart team built one of the first advanced cluster computers in Thailand.
University of Houston
The University of Houstons Texas Learning and Computation Center, a promising research center within the university, started using AMD Opteron™ processors and in the process has established itself as a world-leading research center.
Meaningful Benchmarks for Educational Computing Faced with limited funding, education technology purchasers are increasingly using third-part benchmarks to carefully weigh price vs. performance as they attempt to put the greatest number of computers into classrooms. Unfortunately, most benchmarks are not geared towards educational applications. This whitepaper provides the education technology buyer with critical benchmark assessment data to aid in important technology purchase decisions.
The Missing Revolution While the goal of educational computing in the US is one computer for every child, the per-student penetration rate remains at only 25%. This whitepaper explores how AMD technology and Novell open source software are helping school districts overcome the many obstacles they face as they attempt to increase the student-to-computer ratio.
