AMD Combines HPC Fund with Xilinx Heterogeneous Accelerated Compute Cluster (HACC) Program and Adds Seven Petaflops of Supercomputer Capacity to Power Groundbreaking Research

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced the expan­si­on of its High Per­for­mance Com­pu­te (HPC) Fund with the addi­ti­on of 7 peta­flops of com­pu­ting power to assist glo­bal rese­ar­chers working to sol­ve the most deman­ding chal­lenges facing socie­ty today. AMD also announ­ced that the AMD HPC Fund will now inte­gra­te Xilinx Hete­ro­ge­neous Acce­le­ra­ted Com­pu­te Clus­ters (HACC) pro­gram, pro­vi­ding rese­ar­chers with access to AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors, AMD Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors, Xilinx Alveo™ acce­le­ra­tors and Xilinx Ver­sal™ ACAPs to advan­ce rese­arch in are­as inclu­ding cli­ma­te chan­ge, health care, trans­por­ta­ti­on, big data and more.

The new con­tri­bu­ti­on brings the total amount of com­pu­ting capa­ci­ty dona­ted by AMD to over 20 peta­flops with a mar­ket value of more than $31 mil­li­on, as of May 2022. The addi­tio­nal com­pu­ting resour­ces will build on the AMD COVID-19 HPC Fund that was estab­lished in 2020 to pro­vi­de rese­arch insti­tu­ti­ons with com­pu­ting resour­ces to acce­le­ra­te medi­cal rese­arch on COVID-19 and other diseases.
