Key Highlights in HPC<\/span><\/h3>\n

As seen in the latest Top500 list<\/a>, AMD<\/span> is dri\u00adving inno\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon in both per\u00adfor\u00admance and effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy. The latest list includes 101 super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adters powered by AMD<\/span>, com\u00adpared to 73 on the Novem\u00adber 2021 list, repre\u00adsen\u00adting a 38 per\u00adcent increase year over year. The Fron\u00adtier super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adter, powered by AMD<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsors and AMD<\/span> acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors, at Oak Ridge Natio\u00adnal Labo\u00adra\u00adto\u00adry (ORNL<\/span>), remains at the top of the Top500 list with 1.1 exa\u00adflops. Fron\u00adtier is more than twice as powerful as the next sys\u00adtem on the list and more powerful than the next four sys\u00adtems com\u00adbi\u00adned. Final\u00adly, Frontier\u2019s mixed-pre\u00adcis\u00adi\u00adon com\u00adpu\u00adting per\u00adfor\u00admance clo\u00adcked in at 7.94 exa\u00adflops, as mea\u00adsu\u00adred by the HPL-MxP<\/a> Mixed-Pre\u00adcis\u00adi\u00adon Bench\u00admark.

Addi\u00adtio\u00adnal\u00adly, AMD<\/span> powers 75 per\u00adcent of the top 20 sys\u00adtems on the Green500 list inclu\u00adding the num\u00adber two spot with the Fron\u00adtier test and deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment sys\u00adtem (TDS<\/span>) and the num\u00adber six spot with the full sys\u00adtem.

Ada\u00adstra was the first super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adting sys\u00adtem to be powered by 4th<\/sup> Gen AMD<\/span> EPYC<\/span> CPUs and AMD<\/span> Instinct MI250<\/span> accelerators.<\/p>\n
