Any time you build anything with more than 60 million parts, it is going to be a headache. …
Significant business and architectural changes can happen with 10X improvements, but the real milestones upon which we measure progress in computer science, whether it is for compute, storage, or networking, come at the 1,000X transitions. …
Imagine, if you will, that AMD could make as many Epyc CPUs and Instinct GPU accelerators as it wanted at a reasonable yield and cost. …
Sponsored Feature. There are a lot of things that the HPC centers and hyperscalers of the world have in common, and one of them is their attitudes about software. …
Lisa Su has had the datacenter in her sights since taking over as president and chief executive officer of AMD in 2014, charting a course that would allow the processor maker to once again become a factor in the global server market after a decade or so in the wilderness following its brief but high-profile breakthrough with its first Opteron processor in 2003. …
Remember when only a couple of variations of processors were available for servers in any given generation of server CPUs? …
It is the nature of capability class supercomputers to try to push the envelope on as many different architectural fronts as possible. …
When the “Aldebaran” datacenter GPUs were launched by AMD last November for the HPC and AI crowd pushing up into the exascale stratosphere, only the two top-end models of the Instinct GPU accelerators –ones that use the Open Accelerator Module (OAM) form factor put forth by Facebook and Microsoft under the Open Compute Project – were actually available. …
Last fall ahead of the SC21 supercomputing conference, AMD said it was going to be the first of the major compute engine makers to add 3D vertical L3 cache to its chips, in this case to variants of the “Milan” Epyc 7003 series of processors that debuted in March 2021 called the “Milan-X” chips. …
