AMD Drives Leadership Performance and Energy Efficiency in Supercomputing
15 Novembro 2022 - 11:00AM
At the Supercomputing Conference 2022 (SC22)
, AMD
(NASDAQ: AMD) showcased its continued momentum and dominating
presence within the high performance computing (HPC) industry. AMD
EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ accelerators continue to be the
processors of choice for the most demanding HPC workloads powering
the most complex simulations and modeling tools.
“Innovation in high performance computing has a dramatic impact
on society, advancing groundbreaking research that has the
potential to vastly improve quality of life for people everywhere,”
said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager,
Data Center Solutions Group, AMD. “AMD is constantly innovating and
evolving our EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators to ensure
scientists and researchers working on solving the world’s toughest
challenges have the most cutting-edge tools for their
research.”
Key Highlights in HPCAs seen in the latest
Top500 list, AMD is driving innovation in both performance and
efficiency. The latest list includes 101 supercomputers powered by
AMD, compared to 73 on the November 2021 list, representing a 38
percent increase year over year. The Frontier supercomputer,
powered by AMD processors and AMD accelerators, at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL), remains at the top of the Top500 list
with 1.1 exaflops. Frontier is more than twice as powerful as the
next system on the list and more powerful than the next four
systems combined. Finally, Frontier’s mixed-precision computing
performance clocked in at 7.94 exaflops, as measured by the HPL-MxP
Mixed-Precision Benchmark. The Setonix system, powered by AMD EPYC
CPUs and AMD Instinct accelerators, at the Pawsey Supercomputing
Centre, made it onto the Top500 list in the number 15 slot with
27.2 petaflops.
Additionally, AMD powers 75 percent of the top 20 systems on the
Green500 list including the number two spot with the Frontier test
and development system (TDS) and the number six spot with the full
system. The Adastra supercomputer, procured by GENCI, delivered
58.02 gigaflops/watt and placed third on the list. Adastra was the
first supercomputing system to be powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs
and AMD Instinct MI250 accelerators.
“In early 2023, GENCI, the French HPC/AI agency, will deploy an
additional scalar partition to its HPE Cray EX400 supercomputer
called Adastra, hosted and operated at CINES (Montpellier),” said
Philippe Lavocat, CEO, GENCI. “This new partition, providing 536
compute nodes, each with two 96-core 4th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs and 768
GB of DDR5 memory will benefit from the latest innovations by AMD
in core density/performance and energy efficiency. This new
partition will serve the needs of French scientific and industrial
user communities in climate, biology and medicine, new energies and
materials.”
A Year of Industry Advancements and Ecosystem
WinsAMD continues to build on its history of
industry-firsts and delivering products with breakthrough
performance. Additionally, the company’s latest collaborations have
significantly advanced the HPC industry and demonstrated the
growing preference for AMD processors and accelerators.
- AMD announced
the 4th
Gen AMD EPYC processors with up to 96-cores, 12
channels and up to 384GB of DDR5 memory, the latest EPYC processors
can deliver the leadership performance needed for critical
workloads in HPC1.
- HPE announced the HPE Cray
EX2500 and HPE Cray XD2000 supercomputers will support 4th Gen AMD
EPYC processors and AMD Instinct MI250X accelerators.
- Lenovo announced that Potsdam
Institute for Climate Research (PIK) has selected Lenovo’s HPC and
Lenovo Neptune™ water cooling solutions to develop its next
supercomputer, which will support 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors.
- Microsoft announced a Preview
of new Virtual Machines (VMs) for HPC. HBv4-series VMs and the all
new HX-series VMs are both powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors.
Each will feature AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology when they reach
General Availability in 2023. Microsoft also announced additional
VMs and containers using 4th Gen AMD EPYC are forthcoming.
- DeVito collaboration with AMD
to support HIP for AMD Instinct MI200 GPUs and AMD ROCm™ software,
uplifting performance for DeVito customers.
- AMD innovations were honored in five different award
categories during the annual HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’
Choice Awards, including Top Supercomputing Achievement and Best
Sustainability Innovation in HPC.
AMD Powering Open-Source AI AMD accelerators
are supported by the ROCm open ecosystem which smooths the process
for scientific discoveries by allowing integration with
environments across multiple vendors and architectures. This year,
AMD announced expansion of the AMD Instinct and ROCm ecosystem,
offering exascale-class technology to a broad base of HPC and AI
customers.
Additionally, AMD formally joined the PyTorch Foundation,
originally created by Meta AI, as a founding member. The
foundation, which will be part of the non-profit Linux Foundation,
will drive adoption of AI tooling by fostering and sustaining an
ecosystem of open-source projects. Finally, Meta AI developed and
open-sourced AITemplate (AIT), a unified inference system that can
be accelerated by AMD Instinct accelerators. AIT delivers close to
hardware-native matrix core performance on a variety of widely used
AI models.
