TOKYO<\/span>, Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE<\/span> NEWSWIRE<\/span>) \u2014 Today, AMD<\/span><\/a> (NASDAQ<\/span>: AMD<\/span>) and Oki\u00adna\u00adwa Insti\u00adtu\u00adte of Sci\u00adence and Tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy Gra\u00addua\u00adte Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty (OIST<\/span><\/a>) , announ\u00adced the deploy\u00adment of AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span>\u2122 7702 pro\u00adces\u00adsors for use in a new, high per\u00adfor\u00admance com\u00adpu\u00adting sys\u00adtem. The EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsor-based super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adter will deli\u00adver the 2.36 peta\u00adflops of com\u00adpu\u00adting power OIST<\/span> plans to use for sci\u00aden\u00adti\u00adfic rese\u00adarch at the University.<\/p>\n

The Sci\u00aden\u00adti\u00adfic Com\u00adpu\u00adting &<\/span> Data Ana\u00adly\u00adsis Sec\u00adtion (SCDA<\/span>) of OIST<\/span> plans to imple\u00adment the new super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adter for sup\u00adport\u00ading OIST<\/span> com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal\u00adly inten\u00adsi\u00adve rese\u00adarch ran\u00adging from bio\u00adin\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtics, com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal neu\u00adro\u00adsci\u00adence, and phy\u00adsics. SCDA<\/span> adopted AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> after signi\u00adfi\u00adcant growth, inclu\u00adding a 2X<\/span> increase in users.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>2020 is a mile\u00adstone year for OIST<\/span> with new rese\u00adarch units expan\u00adding the num\u00adber of rese\u00adarch are\u00adas. This growth is dri\u00adving a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant increase in our com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal needs,\u201d said Eddy Tail\u00adle\u00adfer, Ph.D., Sec\u00adtion Lea\u00adder, Sci\u00aden\u00adti\u00adfic Com\u00adpu\u00adting &<\/span> Data Ana\u00adly\u00adsis Sec\u00adtion. \u201cUnder the com\u00admon resour\u00adce model for which the com\u00adpu\u00adting sys\u00adtem is shared by all OIST<\/span> users we nee\u00added a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant increase in core-count capa\u00adci\u00adty to both absorb the\u00adse demands and cope with the signi\u00adfi\u00adcant growth of OIST<\/span>. The latest AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsor was the only tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy that could match this core-count need in a cost-per\u00adfor\u00admance effec\u00adti\u00adve way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key fac\u00adtors of OIST<\/span>\u2019s sel\u00adec\u00adtion of the AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsors included supe\u00adri\u00ador cost-per\u00adfor\u00admance, memory\/PCIe\u00ae band\u00adwidth, and high core counts per ser\u00adver. OIST<\/span> plans to also con\u00adsider EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsors for other gro\u00adwing com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal needs for Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty rese\u00adar\u00adchers in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>AMD<\/span> is proud to be working with lea\u00adding glo\u00adbal insti\u00adtu\u00adti\u00adons to bring sci\u00aden\u00adti\u00adfic rese\u00adarch to the fore\u00adfront through the power of high per\u00adfor\u00admance com\u00adpu\u00adting tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy,\u201d said Ram Ped\u00addib\u00adhot\u00adla, cor\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adte vice pre\u00adsi\u00addent, EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adduct manage\u00adment, AMD<\/span>. \u201cWith high per\u00adfor\u00admance capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties, ease of manage\u00adment and sca\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty, 2nd<\/sup> Gen AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsors can assist OIST<\/span> rese\u00adar\u00adchers with advan\u00adcing tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal inno\u00adva\u00adtions and sup\u00adport\u00ading their rese\u00adarch goals in bio\u00adin\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtics, com\u00adpu\u00adta\u00adtio\u00adnal neu\u00adro\u00adsci\u00adence, and physics.\u201d<\/p>\n
