AMD announced that the central axis digital of the new space of nine hectares of the Center Letterman for Digital Arts from Lucasfilm Ltd. works with AMD64 processing technology.
At the foot of the Bridge Golden Gate, in the heart of the historic San Penal Francisco, Lucasfilm Ltd. has moved Industrial Light & Magic, the world's leading special effects house, and LucasArts, the production company of some of the titles of best-selling games, to the new Letterman Center for the Arts Digital.

The data center has the capacity to process more of 150 terabytes of data per day.
The computer network based on the AMD64 technology and the Letterman Center for Digital Arts leverage superior architecture and high performance in 32 and 64-bit AMD Opteron processor. In the center, the artists digital have a capacity similar to a location of live filming, only it's "virtual", and they can work collaboratively internally throughout the place as well as with film and game producers anywhere in the world.
"Great has been created expectation among our customers who turn to us when they consider that they have something that is impossible to do", said Cliff Plumer, chief technology officer at Lucasfilm. "We have chosen AMD64 technology because it is a solution enterprise with a simple migration path to computing 64-bit that allows digital artists to break free from the creative constraints imposed by traditional technology and continue to bring digital images to levels without Precedents.
"The power of technology AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture in the hands of artists Lucasfilm's digital efficiency increases production efficiency, time that raises the quality of the finished work. Now, a artist can take care of various tasks that in the past would have required the intervention of six to twelve artists", Concluded Plumer.
