Black Friday 2021 – gute Angebote und Enttäuschungen
Der Black Friday ist ein Brauch, der aus den USA zu uns nach Deutschland geschwappt ist. Traditionell wird als Black Friday in diesem Sinne – nicht zu verwechseln mit diversen schwarzen Freitagen wie dem Börsencrash von 1929 – der Tag nach Thanksgiving bezeichnet, ein Feiertag in den USA, der stets auf einen Donnerstag fällt und in den USA einen viel höheren Stellenwert besitzt, als das Erntedankfest in Europa.

AMD Processors Accelerating Performance of Top Supercomputers Worldwide
Growing preference for EPYC™ processors resulted in the number of AMD-powered supercomputers growing 3.5x year-over-year
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During this year’s Supercomputing Conference 2021 (SC21), AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) is showcasing its expanded presence and growing preference in the high performance computing (HPC) industry with the exceptional innovation and adoption of AMD data center processors and accelerators. Customers across the industry continue to expand their use of AMD EPYC™ processors and AMD Instinct™ accelerators to power cutting-edge research needed to address some of the world’s biggest challenges in climate, life sciences, medicine, and more.
Growing preference for AMD is showcased in the latest Top500 list. AMD now powers 73 supercomputers, compared to 21 in the November 2020 list, a more than 3x year-over-year increase. Additionally, AMD powers four out of the top ten most powerful supercomputers in the world, as well as the most powerful supercomputer in EMEA. Finally, AMD EPYC 7003 series processors, which launched eight months ago, are utilized by 17 of the 75 AMD powered supercomputers in the list, demonstrating the rapid adoption of the latest generation of EPYC processors.
“The demands of supercomputing users have increased exponentially as the world seeks to accelerate research, reducing the time to discovery of valuable information,” said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Data Center and Embedded Solutions Business Group, AMD. “With AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct accelerators, we continue to evolve our product offering to push the boundaries of data center technologies enabling faster research, better outcomes and more impact on the world.”
AMD has also been recognized in the annual HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards at SC21. The company won ten awards including Best Sustainability Innovation in HPC, Best HPC Server Product and the Outstanding Leadership in HPC award presented to President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su.

Still waiting for Exascale: Japan’s Fugaku outperforms all competition once again
FRANKFURT, Germany; BERKELEY, Calif.; and KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— The 58th annual edition of the TOP500 saw little change in the Top10. The Microsoft Azure system called Voyager-EUS2 was the only machine to shake up the top spots, claiming No. 10. Based on an AMD EPYC processor with 48 cores and 2.45GHz working together with an NVIDIA A100 GPU and 80 GB of memory, Voyager-EUS2 also utilizes a Mellanox HDR Infiniband for data transfer.
While there were no other changes to the positions of the systems in the Top10, Perlmutter at NERSC improved its performance to 70.9 Pflop/s. Housed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Perlmutter’s increased performance couldn’t move it from its previously held No. 5 spot.
Fugaku continues to hold the No. 1 position that it first earned in June 2020. Its HPL benchmark score is 442 Pflop/s, which exceeded the performance of Summit at No. 2 by 3x. Installed at the Riken Center for Computational Science (R‑CCS) in Kobe, Japan, it was co-developed by Riken and Fujitsu and is based on Fujitsu’s custom ARM A64FX processor. Fugaku also uses Fujitsu’s Tofu D interconnect to transfer data between nodes.
In single or further-reduced precision, which are often used in machine learning and A.I. application, Fugaku has a peak performance above 1,000 PFlop/s (1 Exaflop/s). As a result, Fugaku is often introduced as the first “Exascale” supercomputer. (…) Weiterlesen »

AMD beseitigte zahlreiche Sicherheitslücken im Grafiktreiber für Windows 10
In einem in dieser Woche erschienenen Security Bulletin hat AMD insgesamt 27 Sicherheitslücken im Grafiktreiber für Windows 10 aufgeführt, von denen man die meisten bereits im Jahr 2020 beseitigt hat. Zwei davon wurden allerdings erst mit der Version 21.4.1 angegangen und besitzen jeweils die Einstufung “Hoch”.
Es empfiehlt sich also nicht nur wegen der beiden letztgenannten Sicherheitslücken, CVE-2020–12960 und CVE-2020–12981, oder zum Beispiel wegen der Performanceverbesserungen im gestern erschienenen Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.11.2 den Grafiktreiber aktuell zu halten.
