Accelerate your most complex workloads in scientific computing, data
analytics, or seismic processing, and witness the power of the world’s
first 32GB server GPU, the AMD FirePro™ S9170. With industry-leading
32GB of GDDR5 memory and up to 2.62 TFLOPS of peak double-precision
performance, the choice is clear.
Unparalleled GPU Compute Performance
The AMD FirePro™ S9170 features full throughput double-precision, enabling the
card to achieve up to 2.62 TFLOPS of peak double-precision compute, making the
AMD FirePro S9170 the fastest single-GPU server card available today. The AMD
FirePro S9170 delivers up to 40% more performance in DGEMM heavy applications
than the Tesla K80 dual-GPU card.
Industry-leading Memory Configuration
The AMD FirePro S9170 is the industry’s first server GPU with 32GB ultra-fast
GDDR5 onboard memory — 2.7x the memory of the competition.2 It also features
a 512-bit memory interface for up to 320GB/s of memory bandwidth, helping to
improve overall workload speed and system responsiveness.

Future Ready
AMD is a firm believer and supporter of open standards such as OpenCL™, OpenGL,
OpenMP™, and OpenACC™ and supports these standards on the new AMD FirePro
S9170. We believe most people in the HPC community want open standards as
the de facto way of running their projects and simulations, and AMD is committed
to supporting this goal, working extensively with partners within the community
to drive open standards forward.

The first GPU architecture designed with compute workloads in mind. Engineered for high
utilization, high throughput, and multitasking.
Helps speed up time required to complete single-precision operations used within Video Eects
and Rendering, Signal Processing, Transcoding, and Digital Rendering applications where high
performance takes precedence over accuracy.
Helps speed up time required to complete double-precision operations used within Computational
Fluid Dynamics, Structural Mechanics, Reservoir Simulation, and Aerodynamics applications, where
numerical precision is mission critical.
AMD FirePro S9170 server GPUs feature full throughput double-precision. Unlike competing server
cards that are not optimized for double-precision, AMD FirePro S9170 cards oer the most doubleprecision performance1, completing compute-intensive tasks faster than ever before.
Helps ensure the accuracy of computations by correcting any single or double bit error as a result of
naturally occurring background radiation. External support only.
Combine multiple AMD FirePro S9170 server GPUs in a single system and leverage the combined
processing power to tackle the most compute-intensive workloads.
Equipped with 32GB of GDDR5 memory, the FirePro S9170 can accelerate memory-intensive
applications and process larger and more computationally complex workflows with ease.
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.

OpenCL™ 2.0 Support
Hardware compatible with other AMD
FirePro™ products
The AMD FirePro S9170 server GPU 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.
The AMD FirePro™ S9170 board dimensions are identical to the AMD FirePro™ S9150 and AMD
FirePro™ S9100. This allows for support of custom brackets and retention mechanisms designed for
those other boards to be used on the new AMD FirePro S9170.
