Optimized for computation

The AMD FireStream product line provides the industry's first double-precision floating point capability on a GPU. The AMD FireStream 9270 is our next generation DP-FP product. With 2GB GDDR5 memory on board and single-precision performance of 1.2 TFLOPS and double precision performance of 240 GFLOPS, the FireStream 9270 is ideal for the most demanding compute-intensive, data-parallel tasks.

Using ground-breaking 55nm process technology, even this large-memory board consumes less than 220 watts peak (160 watts typical), making it easy to deploy in a variety of server and workstation packages.

ATI Stream Software

AMD introduces ATI Stream software stack offers a complete top-down programming model ranging from the easily accessible Brook+, our implementation of the popular open source C-like Brook GPU programming language, to lower level performance tuning through our CAL (Compute Abstraction Layer) and IL (Intermediate Language) interfaces.

Advantages

AMD FireStream stream processors deliver all of the parallel processing power of the GPU to compute-intensive applications for scientists, engineers and consumers. Delivering 1.2 TFLOPS, developers can dramatically increase the performance of their data parallel applications.
