AMD today announced its continued leadership in high performance computing (HPC) with 24 of the top 100 supercomputers in the 39th TOP500 list, announced today, while making significant strides in maturing its HPC ecosystem through the addition of several key components that enable end users to continue to benefit from best-in-class price/performance for today's demanding applications.

AMD has continued to work closely with its technology partners to significantly mature its HPC ecosystem, resulting in several new developments including LS-DYNA simulation software optimized for the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors from Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC), the addition of programming options for AMD graphics processor unit (GPU) technology from CAPS, and the announcement by Mellanox Technologies of its Connect-IB products that will deliver FDR 56 Gb/s InfiniBand speeds to AMD's solution portfolios.

"AMD is fully committed to extending its offerings for the HPC market and ensuring that leading solution providers will continue to turn to AMD for a superior supercomputing experience," said Margaret Lewis, director, Server Software Planning, AMD. "Our latest engagements with industry-leading applications, developer tools, and high performance interconnect technology demonstrate the capabilities of AMD's innovative architecture. As well, our commitment to drive the industry shift to heterogeneous computing puts AMD in a prime position to strengthen our HPC leadership position well into the future."

LS-DYNA, a general-purpose finite element program from LSTC capable of simulating complex real-world problems, has developed a version of its popular LS-DYNA optimized specifically for the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processor. A beta version is currently available with general availability to come in the third quarter of this year. LS-DYNA is used by the automobile, aerospace, construction, military, manufacturing, and bioengineering industries to run simulations that are complex and compute-intensive like auto crashes and explosions.

The CAPS entreprise directive-based compiler, HMPP, has recently added support for AMD's GPU technology. Based on OpenACC and OpenHMPP programming models, the HMPP compiler fully integrates data-parallel backend for OpenCL, leveraging the computing power of AMD GPU and APU devices. The CAPS HMPP Workbench compiler will be demonstrated in AMD's booth running on a Supermicro system with the forthcoming AMD FirePro W8000 Series professional graphics technology based on an AMD technology codenamed "Tahiti."

The Mellanox Connect-IB product based on FDR 56 Gb/s InfiniBand is the next-generation InfiniBand technology developed and specified by the InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA). Mellanox announced the Connect-IB interconnect adapter product this week which brings the capabilities of FDR InfiniBand to PCI Express Gen 2.0, offering customers with AMD Opteron 6200-based servers an opportunity to leverage faster data rates.

Number 1 in the ranking has sparc64 cpus
IBM is ranked 10, with their super computer featuring DC opterons + powerXcell processors
And Nasa's computer is ranked 7 on the list

if you meassure supercomputing with teraflops, yes, AMD has supercomputing. Its not a supercomputer you can buy on newegg...

If you want a supercomputer at home, get a quad G34 motherboard on newegg, its less than 1000$. Get 4 x 16 core opterons. Then add some Firepro boards

Here's the complete top 500 supercomputer list:
