WORLD’S LARGEST CHIPSET PROVIDER SLASHES PRODUCTION TIME WITH AMD AND NOVELL
QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies (QCT), the largest provider of 3G chipset and software technology in the world, is always looking
f
or cutting-edge solutions to build complete chipsets within e
v
er
-shor
tening time-to-market windows. That’s why the company turned
to AMD Opteron™ processors with existing 32-bit versions of the applications running on a 64-bit Linux OS. The overall improvements
offered by the AMD Opteron processor give QCT, the ability to run more simulations in the same period, as compared with its
pr
evious systems. According to Mike Broxterman, IT staff manager at QCT,“In head-to-head comparisons, we’ve seen 2X to 2.5X
performance gains compared to competing systems. When you’re talking about a single simulation taking as long as 17 hours, cutting
that time in half is a v
er
y significant improvement.”
