Digital Silence has a new article about AMD powering the new Lucasfilm Presidio offices. Here's a clip, head there for more geek heaven:
At the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in the heart of San Francisco?s historic Presidio, Lucasfilm Ltd. is relocating Industrial Light & Magic, the world?s leading visual effects house, and LucasArts, the producer of some of the year?s top selling game titles to the new Letterman Digital Arts Center. Within the Letterman Digital Arts Center is a massive AMD64-based data center housing a render farm, file servers and storage systems, allowing computers to process data 24 hours a day, seven days a week to create astounding visual images for movies and games. The data center is capable of processing more than 150 terabytes of data per day.
4-based computer network at the Letterman Digital Arts Center takes advantage of the superior architecture and high 32- and 64-bit performance of the AMD Opteron processor. At the center, digital artists have the capability similar to working on a live movie set, only ?virtually? and can collaborate internally throughout the campus as well as with movie and game creators anywhere in the world.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
