Amd powers the world's fastest supercomputer for the us
Table of contents:
There is a devilish career in this sector. In this case, AMD powers the world's fastest supercomputer for the U.S.
AMD is in the news again because the United States has had the chip maker for its new supercomputer for the US Department of Energy's nuclear safety department. In this way, comes to the fore EPYC Genoa, a chip belonging to Zen 4, which is in development. Next, we tell you all the details.
AMD will power Cray, the beast created by HP
We are facing the new supercomputer created by Cray, an HP company, which will be powered by the AMD EPYC Genoa whose architecture is Zen 4. It is expected to equip 128 cores or more and be accompanied by next-gen Radeon Instinct GPU. It is possible that its maximum computing power reaches 2 Exaflops, that is, 10 times more than what currently exists.
A priori, this processor will use a 5nm manufacturing process, will support DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0. As for the Radeon Instinct Mi100 GPU, it will have 8, 192 processors and 32GB of HBM2e memory. Although these data seem amazing to you, Nvidia is also preparing some spectacular Tesla models, which we have already talked about.
Currently, the world's fastest supercomputer is the Summit, a beast powered by IBM Power 9 and Nvidia Volta. It is capable of delivering 200 PFlop / s of power. Then we find the Sierra, also created by IBM, whose power is 126 PFlop / s. The podium is closed by a Chinese supercomputer that delivers 125 PFlop / s of power.
What many question is how AMD's 64-core EPYC is better than the 28-core Intel Xeon, and also cheaper. That said, there is no EPYC topping the list of the world's fastest supercomputers. So this machine created by Cray, and powered by AMD, for the United States Department of Energy may be the cornerstone.
In addition, AMD already appears in the plans of other supercomputers, such as " El Capitan ".
