During Monday’s Morning trade, Shares of T-Mobile US Inc (NASDAQ:TMUS), lost -2.40% to $37.79.
T-Mobile US, Inc., together with its auxiliaries, provides mobile communications services in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The company offers voice, messaging, and data services in the postpaid, prepaid, and wholesale markets. It also provides wireless devices, such as smart MetroPCS recently declared three major updates that, combined, give customers more high-speed data and make that data go even farther. T-Mobile’s flagship prepaid brand is adding an extra 1GB of high-speed data to its most popular plans and an extra 2GB more Mobile Hotspot tethering to its Unlimited 4G LTE plan, up to 8GB from 6GB. To make that data work even harder, MetroPCS is introducing Music Unlimited and Data Maximizer. Now, MetroPCS customers on qualifying plans can stream all the music they want from any of 33 music streaming services – with more being added all the time – without ever using up their high-speed data with Music Unlimited. And, with Data Maximizer, MetroPCS customers can watch up to three times more streaming video than before using the same amount of data. All that without paying a penny more.
“Once again we are setting MetroPCS apart from the rest of the pack in ways that no one else will,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile US. “MetroPCS is the #1 brand in prepaid because we keep giving customers more of what they want, and recently that means adding Music Unlimited and Data Maximizer to the list! Their data will last longer than ever before without ridiculous penalty fees or trickery!”
As people stream more and more music and video on their smart phones, wireless data just doesn’t go as far as it used to. In fact, a full two thirds (67%) of MetroPCS customers with 2GB of high-speed data now use up every last bit of their high-speed data by the third week of the month. phones, tablets, and other mobile communication devices, in addition to accessories, which are manufactured by various suppliers.
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD), declined -0.50% to $1.98, during its current trading session.
Building on its planned investments in heterogeneous system architecture (HSA), AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) declared a suite of tools designed to ease development of high-performance, energy efficient heterogeneous computing systems. The “Boltzmann Initiative” leverages HSA’s ability to harness both central processing units (CPU) and AMD FirePro™ graphics processing units (GPU) for maximum compute efficiency through software. The first results of the initiative are featured this week at SC15 and comprise the Heterogeneous Compute Compiler (HCC); a headless Linux® driver and HSA runtime infrastructure for cluster-class, High Performance Computing (HPC); and the Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability (HIP) tool for porting CUDA-based applications to a common C++ programming model. The tools are designed to drive application performance across markets ranging from machine learning to molecular dynamics, and from oil and gas to visual effects and computer-generated imaging.
“AMD’s Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability enables performance portability for the HPC community. The ability to take code that was written for one architecture and transfer it to another architecture without a negative impact on performance is extremely powerful,” said Jim Belak, co-lead of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Co-design Center in Extreme Materials and senior computational materials scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. “The work AMD is doing to produce a high-performance compiler that sits below high-level programming models enables researchers to concentrate on solving problems and publishing groundbreaking research rather than worrying about hardware-specific optimizations.”
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. operates as a semiconductor company worldwide. The company’s products primarily comprise x86 microprocessors as an accelerated processing unit (APU), chipsets, discrete graphics processing units (GPUs), and semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products. It provides x86 microprocessors for desktop PCs under the AMD A-Series, AMD E-Series, AMD FX CPU, AMD Athlon CPU and APU, and AMD Sempron APU and CPU brands; and microprocessors for notebook and 2-in-1s under the AMD A-Series, AMD E-Series, AMD C-Series, AMD Z-Series, AMD FX APU, AMD Phenom, AMD Athlon CPU and APU, AMD Turion, and AMD Sempron APU and CPU brands.
