Sourceforge.net, eine der größten Open-Source Projekt-Sammlungen der Welt und Hoster für tausende von Open-Source Projektdateien, hat mitgeteilt, daß sie ab sofort auf Server mit AMD Opteron-Prozessoren zurückgreifen werden. Hier ein Auszug aus der offiziellen Pressemitteilung von AMD:
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that SourceForge.net, an open source software development Web site with more than 670,000 registered users, is powered by an AMD Opteron™ processor-based server. The server, based on the AMD Opteron processor 800 Series, provides a public platform for thousands of software developers to port their 32-bit applications to the AMD64 architecture.
The 4-way server running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 is available for remote access to SourceForge.net’s burgeoning membership of software developers. Users can test, debug and port applications for the AMD64 platform that includes servers and workstations based on AMD Opteron and desktops and notebooks based on the upcoming AMD Athlon™ 64 processors, the first and only 64-bit processors based on the industry-standard x86 architecture.
AMD’s unique ability to utilize the x86-based technology helps to simplify the porting of 32-bit applications to AMD64. IBM software developers recently ported millions of lines of code associated with the 32-bit version of the DB2 Universal Database software to the 64-bit product in just two days.
“With its new AMD Opteron processor-based server, SourceForge.net can provide the essential tools to thousands of developers eager to port existing applications and create new software for AMD64,” said Ben Williams, director of the Server/Workstation Business Segment at AMD. “This arrangement should help to expedite the delivery of software for the AMD Opteron™ processor.”
