Performance Intensive Computing

Google Cloud has been working over the past several years with AMD on developing new on-chip security protocols. More on the release of the AMD EPYC™ 9004 series processors in this part three of a four-part series..

AMD announces its fourth-generation EPYC™ CPUs. The new EPYC 9004 Series processors demonstrate advances in hybrid, multi-die architecture by decoupling core and I/O processes. Part 1 of 4.

For the first time, challengers can run their designs using thousands of AMD EPYC™ core CPUs, enabling artists to develop the most complex animations and the most amazing visualizations. “The contestants have access to this professional-grade render farm just like the pros. It levels the playing field,” said James Knight, the director of entertainment for AMD. “You can make scenes that weren’t possible before on your own PC,” he said.

Join Supermicro online Nov. 10th to watch the unveiling of the company’s new A+ systems -- featuring next-generation AMD EPYC™ processors. They can't tell us any more right now. But you can register for a link to the event by scrolling down and signing-up on this page.

CPUs are getting help for applications that make higher demands of their services. Complementary processors, such as GPUs and FPGAs make a big difference on some workloads. Find out why.

Weka’s file system, WekaFS, unifies your entire data lake into a shared global namespace where you can more easily access and manage trillions of files stored in multiple locations from one directory.

In F1, fast cars and fast computers go hand in hand. Computational performance became more important when F1 IT authorities added rules that dictate how much computing and wind tunnel time each team can use. Mercedes was the top finisher in 2021 giving it the biggest compute/wind tunnel handicap. So, when it selected a new computer system, it opted for AMD EPYC™ processors, gaining 20% performance improvement to get more modeling done in less time.

Eliovp, which brings together computing and storage solutions for blockchain workloads, rewrote its code to take full advantage of AMD’s Instinct™ MI100 and MI250 GPUs. As a result, Eliovp’s blockchain calculations run up to 35% faster than what it saw on previous generations of its servers.

Azure HBv3 series virtual machines (VMs) are optimized for HPC applications, such as fluid dynamics, explicit and implicit finite element analysis, weather modeling, seismic processing, and various simulation tasks. HBv3 VMs feature up to 120 Third-Generation AMD EPYC™ 7v73X-series CPU cores with more than 450 GB of RAM.
