AMD FirePro™ S-Series
for Virtualization
Pure Virtualized Graphics
Enhancements from
Hardware Virtualization:
• Security: Guest memory
isolation is enforced by a
hardware protection mechanism
• Support for SR-IOV FLR
(Function Level Reset)
preventing a rogue
guest from crashing the
entire system
• Full support of IOMMU/VT-d
system I/O virtualization
standards
The AMD FirePro™ family of hardware-virtualized GPUs with Multiuser GPU (MxGPU)
technology delivers a simple, secure and cost effective solution for high performance
virtual workstations.
Keeping IT Simple
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Use: The AMD Multiuser GPU works with hypervisors to provide ease of installation. IT
managers and system administrators setting up a central server within an enterprise environment can easily
implement and configure the AMD Multiuser GPU.
Simplified Product Maintenance and Support: Easy to scale to meet the needs of a growing enterprise, supporting
up to 16 users on the AMD FirePro™ S7150, and up to 32 on the AMD FirePro™ S7150 x2 depending on workload. Simply
add them and go, users don’t have to worry about entering into a technology license or paying any fees.
Keeping Data Secure
AMD Multiuser GPU Technology: Unlike software virtualization, AMD’s hardware-based virtualization solution makes
it even more dicult for a hacker to break in at the hardware level. For organizations that highly value security, the
new AMD Multiuser GPU is a clear option to go with for their virtualized workstation needs.
Delivering the Most Value for Your Investment
Outstanding Performance Per Dollar: With users not having to worry
about entering into a technology license or paying any fees, enterprises
get the full economic benefit of VDI with AMD FirePro S7150 or S7150 x2
Server GPUs.
Full-featured, Virtual GPU: By utilizing the native AMD drivers in the
virtual environment, Multiuser GPUs provide seamless access to OpenGL,
DirectX® and OpenCL acceleration, giving the user a true desktop
experience when they run their applications. Whatever a user was able to
do on a desktop machine, they can now do in a virtualized environment
using our new MxGPU technology.

Detailed Features Listing
AMD Multiuser GPU technology
Enable consistent, predictable and secure performance from
your virtualized workstation with the world’s first hardwarebased virtualized GPU solution, the AMD Multiuser GPU. This
new virtualization solution from AMD can enable users to have
workstation-class experiences with full ISV certifications, and
workstation-class performance.
Error Correcting Code (ECC) Memory
Helps ensure the accuracy of your computations by correcting any
single or double bit error as a result of naturally occurring background
radiation.
OpenCL™ 2.0 Support in Virtual Environment
Helps professionals tap into the parallel computing power of modern
GPUs and multicore CPUs to accelerate compute-intensive tasks in
leading CAD/CAM/CAE and Media & Entertainment applications that
support OpenCL. The AMD FirePro S7150 and S7150 x2 server GPUs
supports OpenCL™ 2.0, allowing developers to take advantage of
new features that give GPUs more freedom to do the work they are
designed to do.
Energy Efficient Design
AMD FirePro S7150 and S7150 x2 GPUs support unique power
monitoring and management technologies, and have a maximum
power consumption of 150 and 265 watts, respectively. AMD
PowerTune1 technology dynamically optimizes GPU power usage.
AMD PowerTune
AMD PowerTune Technology is an intelligent power management
system that monitors both GPU activity and power draw. AMD
PowerTune optimizes the GPU to deliver low power draw when GPU
workloads do not demand full activity and delivers the optimal clock
speed to ensure the highest possible performance within the GPU’s
power budget for high intensity workloads.
