SiPearl, the com­pa­ny desig­ning the high-per­for­mance, low-power micro­pro­ces­sor for Euro­pean super­com­pu­ters, is col­la­bo­ra­ting with AMD to address the needs of exas­ca­le super­com­pu­ting in Euro­pe. Com­bi­ning SiPearl’s Rhea micro­pro­ces­sor with AMD Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors, the two com­pa­nies will help Euro­pe to meet stra­te­gic, sci­en­ti­fic, socie­tal, and indus­tri­al challenges.

Mai­sons-Laf­fit­te (France), 14th Novem­ber 2022 – SiPearl, the com­pa­ny desig­ning the high­per­for­mance, low-power micro­pro­ces­sor for Euro­pean super­com­pu­ters, has ente­red into a busi­ness col­la­bo­ra­ti­on agree­ment with AMD to pro­vi­de a joint offe­ring for exas­ca­le super­com­pu­ting sys­tems, com­bi­ning SiPearl’s HPC micro­pro­ces­sor, Rhea, with AMD Instinct™ accelerators.

Initi­al­ly, AMD and SiPearl will joint­ly assess the inter­ope­ra­bi­li­ty of the AMD ROCm™ open soft­ware with the SiPearl Rhea micro­pro­ces­sor and build an opti­mi­zed soft­ware solu­ti­on that would streng­then the capa­bi­li­ties of a SiPearl micro­pro­ces­sor com­bi­ned with an AMD InstinctTM acce­le­ra­tor. This joint work tar­gets port­ing and opti­miza­ti­on acti­vi­ties of the AMD HIP backend, openMP com­pi­lers and libra­ri­es, will enable sci­en­ti­fic appli­ca­ti­ons to bene­fit from both tech­no­lo­gies.
