AMD Remains the Partner of Choice for World’s Fastest and Most Efficient High Performance Computing Deployments
13 Mai 2024 - 11:00AM
Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) showcased its ongoing high performance
computing (HPC) leadership at ISC High Performance 2024. For the
third year in a row, the Frontier supercomputer housed at Oak Ridge
National Lab – powered by AMD EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ GPUs –
remains the fastest supercomputer in the world with a
High-Performance Linpack (HPL) score of 1.2 exaflops based on the
latest Top500 list.
The Top500 list also includes three new systems from Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL), the El Capitan Early
Delivery System (EDS), RZAdams, and Tuolumne, coming in at number
46, 47 and 48 respectively on the Top500 list with a single cabinet
early submission scores of 19.65 petaflops. These three systems are
the first supercomputers on the Top500 list powered by the AMD
Instinct™ MI300A APU, launched in December 2023.
AMD now powers 156 supercomputers on the latest Top500 list, a
29 percent increase from the previous year, and 157 systems on the
Green500 list of the most efficient supercomputers in the
world.
“The AMD Instinct MI300A APUs are setting the pace for
innovation, delivering leadership performance and efficiency for
critical workloads sitting at the convergence of HPC and AI,” said
Brad McCredie, corporate vice president and general manager, Data
Center and Accelerated Processing, AMD. “We are thrilled with the
progress shown by LLNL today with their early submissions using AMD
Instinct MI300A APUs. We look forward to our continued engagement
with the teams at HPE and LLNL for further optimizations to drive
increased performance as we help bring up El Capitan.”
The Next Step in the
Exascale Era
AMD and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have collaborated to
build El Capitan for LLNL, continuing the technology partnership
established while developing Frontier. Debuting on the Top500 list,
El Capitan EDS, RZAdams, and Tuolumne demonstrate that the El
Capitan system is on track to become the second supercomputer,
powered by AMD, to surpass the exaflop barrier.
"RZAdams is a critical addition to LLNL's existing and highly
capable unclassified computing ecosystem,” said Bronis R. de
Supinski, chief technology officer for Livermore Computing, LLNL.
“Given the boost in performance we are already seeing from the AMD
Instinct MI300A APUs, we expect this system to be a strategically
significant resource and to move us forward across a wide range of
scientific areas. RZAdams is supporting essential opportunities for
code porting, optimization and software development for some of the
applications that will eventually run on El Capitan. It is also
allowing our scientists to push the boundaries of discovery with
greater speed and efficiency than previous unclassified
systems.”
New AMD Alveo V80 Accelerator for HPC and
Compute-Intensive Workloads
To deliver optimized hardware-accelerated systems tailored for a
wide spectrum of compute-intensive workloads, AMD launched the
Alveo™ V80 Compute Accelerator Card. This new hardware adaptable
accelerator is purpose-built to overcome performance bottlenecks
for compute-intensive workloads with large data sets common to HPC,
data analytics and network security applications.
Powered by the AMD Versal™ HBM Series adaptive SoC, the Alveo
V80 accelerator card offers up to a 2X increase in memory bandwidth
and logic density, and up to 4X the network bandwidth compared to
the previous generationi It delivers massive hardware parallelism
and 820GB/s memory bandwidth while hardware flexibility allows for
real-time acceleration of diverse and custom workloads and data
types for applications such as genomic sequencing, molecular
dynamics, sensor processing, blockchain, and next- generation
firewall and network security. Supermicro is integrating the Alveo
V80 accelerator with AMD EPYC CPU-powered Supermicro servers.
“Supermicro’s strategic and long-standing collaboration with AMD
enables us to address customer requirements for grappling with
compute-intensive and memory-bound workloads at scale with superior
time-to-delivery,” said Michael McNerney, SVP, Marketing and
Network Security, Supermicro. “By leveraging the AMD Alveo V80
accelerator alongside our A+ server family, including the
AS-4125GS-TNRT, customers can immediately take advantage of this
compact 4U server solution for deployments where compute density
and memory bandwidth are critical.”
Furthering the HPC and AI Ecosystem
Throughout the year, AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct
accelerators have been leveraged to power many new supercomputers,
including:
- Italian energy company Eni announced their new HPC6
supercomputer, powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs. Once
completed, HPC6 will be one of the world’s most powerful
supercomputers dedicated to industrial applications.
- Lenovo and the University of Paderborn recently announced plans
to build a new supercomputer powered by AMD EPYC CPUs. The
installation is expected to start by the second half of 2024.
- The High-Performance Computing Center of the University of
Stuttgart (HLRS) has announced plans to build The Hunter system,
which will be powered by the AMD Instinct MI300A accelerators.
- AGH University of Krakow unveiled a new supercomputer, powered
by 4th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, called Helios, which will be Poland’s
fastest system to-date.
- AMD recently released ROCm 6.1 which consists of new features
and optimizations to improve the stability and performance of
applications powered by the latest AMD Instinct MI300 Series
GPUs.
