AMD will provide expertise with diverse compute engine capabilities and open software, to help drive leadership performance for accelerated workloads

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced it is joi­ning the new­ly crea­ted PyTorch Foun­da­ti­on as a foun­ding mem­ber. The foun­da­ti­on, which will be part of the non-pro­fit Linux Foun­da­ti­on, will dri­ve adop­ti­on of Arti­fi­ci­al Intel­li­gence (AI) too­ling by fos­te­ring and sus­tai­ning an eco­sys­tem of open source pro­jects with PyTorch, the Machi­ne Lear­ning (ML) soft­ware frame­work ori­gi­nal­ly crea­ted and fos­te­red by Meta.

As a foun­ding mem­ber, AMD joins others in the indus­try to prio­ri­ti­ze the con­tin­ued growth of PyTorch’s vibrant com­mu­ni­ty. Sup­port­ed by inno­va­tions such as the AMD ROCm™ open soft­ware plat­form, AMD Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors, Adap­ti­ve SoCs and CPUs, AMD will help the PyTorch Foun­da­ti­on by working to demo­cra­ti­ze sta­te-of-the-art tools, libra­ri­es and other com­pon­ents to make the­se ML inno­va­tions acces­si­ble to everyone.

“Open soft­ware is cri­ti­cal to advan­cing HPC, AI and ML rese­arch, and we’re rea­dy to bring our expe­ri­ence with open soft­ware plat­forms and inno­va­ti­on to the PyTorch foun­da­ti­on,” said Brad McCre­die, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent, Data Cen­ter and Acce­le­ra­ted Pro­ces­sing, AMD. “AMD Instinct acce­le­ra­tors and ROCm soft­ware power important HPC and ML sites around the world, from exas­ca­le super­com­pu­ters at rese­arch labs to major cloud deploy­ments show­ca­sing the con­ver­gence of HPC and AI/ML. Tog­e­ther with other foun­da­ti­on mem­bers, we will sup­port the acce­le­ra­ti­on of sci­ence and rese­arch that can make a dra­ma­tic impact on the world.”

“We are exci­ted to have AMD join the PyTorch Foun­da­ti­on and bring its exten­si­ve exper­ti­se in HPC, AI and ML to our mem­bers,” said San­tosh Janard­han, VP, Infra­struc­tu­re at Meta. “AMD has con­tin­ued to sup­port PyTorch with its inte­gra­ti­on on ROCm open soft­ware plat­form and has work­ed exten­si­ve­ly with the open-source com­mu­ni­ty and other foun­da­ti­on mem­bers to advan­ce per­for­mance of ML and AI workloads. The col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve sup­port offe­red by AMD con­ti­nues our enga­ge­ment across broad indus­try initia­ti­ves for glo­bal impact.”

AMD, Advan­cing AI and ML
AMD is uni­que­ly posi­tio­ned with its broad pro­duct and soft­ware port­fo­lio to help cus­to­mers and part­ners deve­lop and deploy appli­ca­ti­ons with mul­ti­ple forms of AI from the cloud and enter­pri­se, to the edge and end­points. With a diver­se set of hard­ware inclu­ding AMD Instinct and Alveo acce­le­ra­tors, adap­ti­ve SoCs and CPUs, AMD can sup­port a wide varie­ty of per­va­si­ve AI and ML models, from small edge points to lar­ge sca­le out trai­ning and infe­rence workloads.

AMD also works exten­si­ve­ly with the AI open com­mu­ni­ty to pro­mo­te and extend machi­ne and deep lear­ning capa­bi­li­ties and opti­miza­ti­ons. Vitis AI pro­vi­des a com­pre­hen­si­ve AI infe­rence deve­lo­p­ment plat­form for AMD adap­ti­ve SoCs and Alveo data cen­ter acce­le­ra­tors. Vitis AI plugs into com­mon soft­ware deve­lo­per tools and uti­li­zes a rich set of opti­mi­zed open-source libra­ri­es to empower soft­ware deve­lo­pers with machi­ne lear­ning acce­le­ra­ti­on as part of their soft­ware code.

The ROCm™ open soft­ware plat­form is con­stant­ly evol­ving to meet the needs of the AI/ML and HPC com­mu­ni­ty. With the latest release of ROCm 5.0, deve­lo­pers have access to turn-key AI frame­work con­tai­ners on AMD Infi­ni­ty Hub, advan­ced tools, stream­li­ned instal­la­ti­on, and can expect to expe­ri­ence redu­ced ker­nel launch times and fas­ter appli­ca­ti­on per­for­mance. As well, with the latest PyTorch 1.12 release, AMD ROCm™ sup­port has moved from beta to sta­ble. You can read more about that here.
