Golden Gate Technology Announces Support for AMD Opteron
New Power Reduction Products --Power Plan Gold & Power Optimize Gold --Run on 64-bit High-Performance AMD Opteron Processors
Golden Gate Technology Inc., specializing in nanometer IC power reduction, today announced that its two new software products -- Power Optimize Gold(TM) and Power Plan Gold(TM) -- will work in computing environments that are based on AMD Opteron processors.
Power Optimize Gold and Power Plan Gold work with existing place & route flows from Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys and Magma; reduce power consumption in circuits by up to 25%; and enable multi-voltage island architecture creation. The AMD Opteron processor minimizes integration complexity by giving its users high-performance 32- and 64-bit simultaneous computing, as well as an easy transition path to 64-bit technology without sacrificing performance.
"AMD64 software optimizations allow Golden Gate's customers to take advantage of the AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture," said Pat Patla, director, server/workstation marketing, Microprocessor Solutions Sector, AMD. "The AMD Opteron processor offers industry-leading performance-per-watt that combined with Golden Gate's power solutions, can further strengthen this already highly efficient platform."
"The AMD64 port was easy to do because of the object code compatibility between their 32- and 64-bit platforms -- only one executable was needed," remarked Boris Gruzman, COO, Golden Gate Technology.
Hundreds of leading software companies currently support AMD64 technology including Computer Associates, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, Sun, SuSE, Linux and VMware.
About Golden Gate's Power Reduction Software
Golden Gate's new power reduction products can reduce total power consumption by up to 25%. Power Optimize Gold reduces leakage and switching power while simultaneously meeting constraints for timing, signal integrity and electromigration. Power Plan Gold creates architectural multi-voltage-island designs by automatically creating complex power grids. This enables sophisticated on-chip power management schemes.
Price & Availability
Power Optimize Gold and Power Plan Gold are shipping now for AMD Opteron processor, Solaris and Linux. Power Plan Gold starts at $115, 000 and Power Optimize Gold starts at $395,000 for time-based licenses.
