AMD Drives High-Performance Computing for the Embedded Industry with New Customers, Growing Momentum and Broad Ecosystem Support

New cus­to­mer wins in net­wor­king, sto­rage and edge com­pu­ting con­ti­nue the momen­tum for AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 and AMD EPYC™ Embedded 3000 platform

NUREMBURG, Ger­ma­ny.

 

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) arri­ves at Embedded World 2019 riding a wave of suc­cess fol­lo­wing the launch of its flag­ship AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 and AMD EPYC™ Embedded 3000 pro­ces­sors in 2018 that have resul­ted in new and expan­ded part­ner­ships with indus­try lea­ders like Advan­tech, Super­mi­cro, Men­tor, con­ga­tec, IEI, and more.

Building a New Machine Vision Ecosystem

The AMD embedded pro­duct stack enables cus­to­mers to crea­te end-to-end solu­ti­ons that pro­vi­de high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting from edge com­pu­ting devices, all the way through to the dat­a­cen­ter. In com­bi­na­ti­on with part­ners and con­sor­ti­ums, AMD also pro­vi­des cus­to­mers the abili­ty to levera­ge cer­ti­fied soft­ware and other open frame­works to enable new, arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence or machi­ne visi­on appli­ca­ti­ons for their edge solutions.

At Embedded World 2019, AMD con­ti­nues its work to build and grow the machi­ne visi­on eco­sys­tem for the embedded indus­try. Working tog­e­ther with Advan­tech and Men­tor, the com­pa­nies are making machi­ne visi­on tech­no­lo­gy more acces­si­ble and easier to imple­ment with a new robust edge com­pu­ting solution.

Based on the Advan­tech SOM-5871 com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons modu­le powered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 pro­ces­sor and the Men­tor Linux ope­ra­ting sys­tem, this solu­ti­on will make it easier for cus­to­mers to imple­ment machi­ne visi­on appli­ca­ti­ons within their IoT or edge com­pu­te eco­sys­tem, hel­ping to impro­ve effi­ci­en­cy and accu­ra­cy of machi­ne visi­on solutions.

Bey­ond machi­ne visi­on appli­ca­ti­ons, AMD con­ti­nues to advan­ce a powerful and open eco­sys­tem for inter­ope­ra­ble IoT and edge com­pu­te solu­ti­ons via its par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in the EdgeX Foundry™. Cur­rent mem­bers such as Cle­ar­Bla­de, (block­chain and data aggre­ga­ti­on), Beech­Woods(advan­cing data ana­ly­tics), and Enig­me­dia, (end-to-end secu­ri­ty), are buil­ding new robust solu­ti­ons capa­ble of sca­ling quick­ly with AMD hardware.

The power of AMD for embedded com­pu­ting is in lever­aging our fan­ta­stic high-per­for­mance CPU and GPU archi­tec­tures that power ever­y­thing from ser­vers in mega dat­a­cen­ters, to mobi­le lap­tops and game con­so­les, and app­ly­ing them to embedded appli­ca­ti­ons,” said Ste­phen Turn­bull, direc­tor of pro­duct mar­ke­ting, Embedded Solu­ti­ons, AMD. “The oppor­tu­ni­ty for the AMD embedded busi­ness is exact­ly that – hel­ping our cus­to­mers crea­te an AMD end-to-end com­pu­ting chain that powers dat­a­cen­ters, com­pu­ting devices and embedded pro­ducts. AMD can uni­que­ly do this with sca­le that includes a thri­ving part­ner eco­sys­tem and soft­ware support.”

Growing Embedded into Networking and More

The busi­ness is also expan­ding into new oppor­tu­ni­ties in small form fac­tor ser­vers and net­wor­king with part­ners like Super­mi­cro with its A+ ser­ver plat­form, Con­ga­tec with the Con­ga-B7E3A Ser­ver-on-Modu­le and IEI with the PUZZLE next-gen net­work appli­ance. All three plat­forms use the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 sys­tem on a chip, which lever­a­ges the relia­bi­li­ty, avai­la­bi­li­ty and ser­vicea­bi­li­ty fea­tures from the AMD EPYC 7000 series, brin­ging the power behind a mega dat­a­cen­ter into the embedded form factor.

  • The PUZZLE series net­work appli­ance uses the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 processor’s high core count and expan­si­ve I/O to offer real-time soft­ware-defi­ned wide-area net­work ser­vices with vir­tu­al net­work func­tions services.
  • The Super­mi­cro A+ ser­ver plat­form (ASE301-9D-8CN4 and AS5019D-FTN4) use the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 pro­ces­sors and tar­get a ran­ge of net­wor­king appli­ca­ti­ons inclu­ding vCPE/uCPE, SD-WAN, net­work secu­ri­ty appli­ances, pri­va­te cloud devices and embedded IoT computing.
  • Using the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 pro­ces­sor, the Con­ga­tec Con­ga-B7E3A is a Ser­ver-on-Modu­le that brings dat­a­cen­ter class fea­tures in an embedded form factor.

Growth Bookended by Continued Momentum

Sin­ce launch in Febru­ary 2018, the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 series and AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 pro­ces­sor fami­ly have also had tre­men­dous suc­cess in tra­di­tio­nal embedded ver­ti­cals like casi­no gam­ing, digi­tal dis­plays and thin clients.

Part­ners inclu­ding Quix­ant and Sap­phi­re are buil­ding plat­forms that use the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000’s capa­bi­li­ty to run four, 4K reso­lu­ti­on screens for high-qua­li­ty gaming.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 sys­tem is ide­al­ly sui­ted for the needs of the latest digi­tal signage dis­plays with its abili­ty to dis­play 4K reso­lu­ti­ons flaw­less­ly. Lea­ders in the indus­try are inclu­ding the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 in their latest digi­tal media ser­vers and digi­tal signage players.

In thin cli­ents, whe­re AMD is a trus­ted mar­ket lea­der, the embedded pro­ces­sor port­fo­lio enables cus­to­mers to deli­ver high per­for­mance and dis­play capa­bi­li­ties across 2D, 3D and HD video appli­ca­ti­ons, while sup­port­ing a broad ran­ge of users, appli­ca­ti­ons and the most deman­ding ope­ra­ting requirements.

We’ve been impres­sed by the wide appeal of the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 and AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 from indus­tries like casi­no gam­ing, indus­tri­al PCs, edge com­pu­ting, IoT, net­wor­king, sto­rage and more. The cus­to­mer enga­ge­ment with the pro­ducts has been fan­ta­stic and the num­ber of pro­ducts on dis­play at Embedded World 2019 powered by AMD shows the growth we’ve expe­ri­en­ced. We’re exci­ted to see what our cus­to­mers con­ti­nue to do with our cur­rent and future pro­ducts,” said Turnbull.
