— ESnet6 leverages AMD adaptive networking technology for packet monitoring at extremely high transfer rates and to allow for continuous innovation in the network —

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced its col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with the Ener­gy Sci­en­ces Net­work (ESnet) on the launch of ESnet6, the newest gene­ra­ti­on of the U.S. Depart­ment of Energy’s (DOE’s) high-per­for­mance net­work dedi­ca­ted to science.

AMD work­ed clo­se­ly with ESnet sin­ce 2018 to inte­gra­te powerful adap­ti­ve com­pu­ting for the smart and pro­gramma­ble net­work nodes of ESnet6. ESnet6’s extre­me sca­le packet moni­to­ring sys­tem uses AMD Alveo™ U280 FPGA-based net­work-atta­ched acce­le­ra­tor cards at the core net­work swit­ching nodes. This will enable high-touch packet pro­ces­sing and help impro­ve the accu­ra­cy of net­work moni­to­ring and manage­ment to enhan­ce per­for­mance. The pro­gramma­ble hard­ware allows for new capa­bi­li­ties to be added for con­ti­nuous inno­va­ti­on in the net­work.
