At some point, when the Epyc server CPU and Radeon Instinct GPU accelerator businesses are more substantial, AMD will probably be a lot less opaque about how its datacenter business is doing. …
AMD has picked up yet another big supercomputer win with the selection of its second-generation Epyc processors, aka Rome, as the compute engine for the ARCHER2 system to be installed at the University of Edinburgh next year. …
Good news is continuing to gather around AMD’s second-generation “Rome” Epyc processors. …
AMD is definitely on a roll in the United States for pre-exascale and future exascale systems, having won the deals at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab with the “Perlmutter” system, at Oak Ridge National laboratory with the “Frontier” system, and as the presumed front runner at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with the “El Capitan” system. …
In any chip design, the devil – and the angel – is always in the details. …
It has been a long time coming: The day when AMD can put a processor up against any Xeon that Intel can deliver and absolutely compete on technology, price, predictability of availability, and consistency of roadmap looking ahead. …
The good news about having a diverse product line, as chip maker AMD increasingly does, is that the company operates like a multi-cylinder engine and that not all of the lines need to be firing full bore for the business to accelerate down its roadmap. …
AMD’s second-generation Epyc processor, code-named “Rome,” has yet to be released into the wild, but it is already racking up some impressive wins in academic supercomputing. …
It was a long time coming but AMD is finding its footing again in the high performance computing space. …
The CPU does not rule the computing roost when it comes to machine learning training, but it still has a role when it comes to machine learning inference and for other kinds of data analytics related to machine learning. …
