– Powered by AMD CDNA™ 2 archi­tec­tu­re and AMD ROCm™5, new AMD Instinct MI210 GPUs acce­le­ra­ting insights and dis­co­very for main­stream users –

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced the avai­la­bi­li­ty of the AMD Instinct™ eco­sys­tem with expan­ded sys­tem sup­port from part­ners inclu­ding ASUS, Dell Tech­no­lo­gies, Giga­byte, HPE, Leno­vo and Super­mi­cro, the new AMD Instinct™ MI210 acce­le­ra­tor and the robust capa­bi­li­ties of ROCm™ 5 soft­ware. Altog­e­ther, the AMD Instinct and ROCm eco­sys­tem is offe­ring exas­ca­le-class tech­no­lo­gy to a broad base of HPC and AI cus­to­mers, addres­sing the gro­wing demand for com­pu­te-acce­le­ra­ted data cen­ter workloads and redu­cing the time to insights and discovery.

“With twice the plat­forms available com­pared to our pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on acce­le­ra­tors, gro­wing cus­to­mer adop­ti­on across HPC and AI appli­ca­ti­ons, and new sup­port from com­mer­cial ISVs in key workloads, we’re con­ti­nuing to dri­ve adop­ti­on of the AMD Instinct MI200 acce­le­ra­tors and ROCm 5 soft­ware eco­sys­tem,” said Brad McCre­die, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent, Data Cen­ter GPU and Acce­le­ra­ted Pro­ces­sing, AMD. “Now with the avai­la­bi­li­ty of the AMD Instinct MI210 acce­le­ra­tor to the MI200 fami­ly, our cus­to­mers can choo­se the acce­le­ra­tor that works best for their workloads, whe­ther they need lea­ding-edge acce­le­ra­ted pro­ces­sing for lar­ge sca­le HPC and AI workloads, or if they want access to exas­ca­le-class tech­no­lo­gy in a com­mer­cial format.”

“The Lumi super­com­pu­ter powered by AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors and AMD Instinct MI200 acce­le­ra­tors will pro­vi­de a gene­ra­tio­nal leap in per­for­mance for lar­ge-sca­le simu­la­ti­ons and mode­ling as well as AI and deep lear­ning workloads to sol­ve some of the big­gest ques­ti­ons in rese­arch,” said Pek­ka Man­ni­nen, Direc­tor of the LUMI Lea­der­ship and Com­pu­ting Faci­li­ty, CSC. “We’ve uti­li­zed AMD Instinct MI210 acce­le­ra­tors to get hands on expe­ri­ence with the Instinct MI200 fami­ly, pre­pa­ring our sci­en­tists to tack­le the many chal­len­ging and com­plex pro­jects they will run once Lumi is ful­ly deployed.”

Powe­ring The Future of HPC and AI
The AMD Instinct MI200 series acce­le­ra­tors are desi­gned to power dis­co­veries in exas­ca­le sys­tems, enab­ling rese­ar­chers, sci­en­tists and engi­neers to tack­le our most pres­sing chal­lenges, from cli­ma­te chan­ge to vac­ci­ne rese­arch. The AMD Instinct MI210 acce­le­ra­tors spe­ci­fi­cal­ly enable exas­ca­le-class tech­no­lo­gies for cus­to­mers who need fan­ta­stic HPC and AI per­for­mance in a PCIe® for­mat. Powered by the AMD CDNA™ 2 archi­tec­tu­re, AMD Instinct MI210 acce­le­ra­tors extend AMD per­for­mance lea­der­ship in dou­ble pre­cis­i­on (FP64) com­pu­te on PCIe form fac­tor cards1. They also deli­ver a robust solu­ti­on for acce­le­ra­ted deep lear­ning trai­ning offe­ring a broad ran­ge of mixed-pre­cis­i­on capa­bi­li­ties based on the AMD Matrix Core Technology.

Dri­ving the ROCm Adoption
An open soft­ware plat­form that allows rese­ar­chers, sci­en­tists and engi­neers to tap the power of AMD Instinct acce­le­ra­tors to dri­ve sci­en­ti­fic dis­co­veries, the AMD ROCm plat­form is built on the foun­da­ti­on of num­e­rous appli­ca­ti­ons and libra­ri­es powe­ring top HPC and AI applications.

With ROCm 5, AMD extends its soft­ware plat­form by adding new hard­ware sup­port for the AMD Instinct MI200 series acce­le­ra­tors and the AMD Rade­on™ PRO W6800 pro­fes­sio­nal gra­phics card, plus Red Hat® Enter­pri­se Linux® 8.5 sup­port, incre­asing acces­si­bi­li­ty of ROCm for deve­lo­pers and enab­ling out­stan­ding per­for­mance across key workloads.

Addi­tio­nal­ly, through the AMD Infi­ni­ty Hub, the cen­tral loca­ti­on for open-source appli­ca­ti­ons that are por­ted and opti­mi­zed on AMD GPUs, end-users can easi­ly find, down­load and install con­tai­ne­ri­zed HPC apps and ML frame­works. AMD Infi­ni­ty Hub appli­ca­ti­on con­tai­ners are desi­gned to redu­ce the tra­di­tio­nal­ly dif­fi­cult issue of obtai­ning and instal­ling soft­ware releases while allo­wing users to learn based on shared expe­ri­en­ces and pro­blem-sol­ving opportunities.

Expan­ding Part­ner and Cus­to­mer Ecosystem
As more pur­po­se-built appli­ca­ti­ons are opti­mi­zed to work with ROCm and AMD Instinct acce­le­ra­tors, AMD con­ti­nues to grow its soft­ware eco­sys­tem with the addi­ti­on of com­mer­cial ISVs, inclu­ding Ansys®, Cas­ca­de Tech­no­lo­gies, and Tem­po­Quest. The­se ISVs pro­vi­de appli­ca­ti­ons for acce­le­ra­ted workloads inclu­ding Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Flu­id Dyna­mics (CFD), wea­ther fore­cas­ting, Com­pu­ter Aided Engi­nee­ring (CAE) and more. The­se updates are on top of exis­ting appli­ca­ti­on sup­port in ROCm which includes HPC, AI and Machi­ne Lear­ning appli­ca­ti­ons, AMBER, Chro­ma, CP2K, GRID, GRO­MACs, LAAMPS, MILC, Mini-HAAC, NAMD, NAMD 3.0, ONNX-RT, OpenMM, PyTorch, RELION, SPECFEM3D Car­te­si­an, SPECFEM3D Glo­be, and TensorFlow.

AMD is also enab­ling part­ners like ASUS, Dell Tech­no­lo­gies, Giga­byte, HPE, Leno­vo, Super­mi­cro, and Sys­tem Inte­gra­tors inclu­ding Col­fax, Exxact, KOI Com­pu­ters, Nor-Tech, Pen­gu­in and Sym­me­tric to offer dif­fe­ren­tia­ted solu­ti­ons to address next gene­ra­ti­on com­pu­ting chal­lenges. Super­com­pu­ting cus­to­mers are alre­a­dy taking advan­ta­ge of the bene­fits offe­red via the­se new cus­to­mer wins inclu­ding the Fron­tier instal­la­ti­on at Oak Ridge Natio­nal Labo­ra­to­ry, KTH/Dardel, CSC/LUMI and Cines/Adastra.

Enab­ling Access for Cus­to­mers and Partners
The AMD Acce­le­ra­tor Cloud offers cus­to­mers an envi­ron­ment to remo­te­ly access and eva­lua­te AMD Instinct acce­le­ra­tors and AMD ROCm soft­ware. Whe­ther it’s port­ing lega­cy code, bench­mar­king an appli­ca­ti­on or test­ing mul­ti-GPU or mul­ti-node sca­ling, the AMD Acce­le­ra­tor Cloud gives pro­s­pec­ti­ve cus­to­mers and part­ners quick and easy access to the latest GPUs and soft­ware. The AMD Acce­le­ra­tor Cloud is also used to power various events such as hacka­thons and ROCm trai­ning ses­si­ons offe­red to both exis­ting and pro­s­pec­ti­ve cus­to­mers, allo­wing deve­lo­pers to hone their skills and learn how to get the most out of AMD Instinct accelerators.
