@tsyum It stands for "accelerated mobile pages" so, in theory, it should present the page optimised for mobile browsers. To be honest, since most sites automatically detect that a mobile browser is being used and present a mobile-optimised version anyway, I don't see the point. Also, it's some kind of Google framework. Again, I don't really see the utility.

@tsyum It's a remnant of Google's "Accelerated Mobile Pages" program, which required publishers to publish separate, mobile- (and Google-) friendly copies of their content to get privileged placement in search results.
