Join Supermicro online Nov. 10th to watch the unveiling of the company’s new A+ systems -- featuring next-generation AMD EPYC™ processors. They can't tell us any more right now. But you can register for a link to the event by scrolling down and signing-up on this page.

CPUs are getting help for applications that make higher demands of their services. Complementary processors, such as GPUs and FPGAs make a big difference on some workloads. Find out why.

Weka’s file system, WekaFS, unifies your entire data lake into a shared global namespace where you can more easily access and manage trillions of files stored in multiple locations from one directory.

In F1, fast cars and fast computers go hand in hand. Computational performance became more important when F1 IT authorities added rules that dictate how much computing and wind tunnel time each team can use. Mercedes was the top finisher in 2021 giving it the biggest compute/wind tunnel handicap. So, when it selected a new computer system, it opted for AMD EPYC™ processors, gaining 20% performance improvement to get more modeling done in less time.

Eliovp, which brings together computing and storage solutions for blockchain workloads, rewrote its code to take full advantage of AMD’s Instinct™ MI100 and MI250 GPUs. As a result, Eliovp’s blockchain calculations run up to 35% faster than what it saw on previous generations of its servers.

Azure HBv3 series virtual machines (VMs) are optimized for HPC applications, such as fluid dynamics, explicit and implicit finite element analysis, weather modeling, seismic processing, and various simulation tasks. HBv3 VMs feature up to 120 Third-Generation AMD EPYC™ 7v73X-series CPU cores with more than 450 GB of RAM.

Running heavy AI/ML workloads can be a challenge for any server, but the SuperBlade has extremely fast networking options, upgradability, the ability to run two AMD EPYC™ 7000-series 64-core processors and the Horovod open-source framework for scaling deep-learning training across multiple GPUs.

The AMD Threadripper™ CPU may be a desktop processor, but desktop computing was never like this. The new chipset comes in a variety of multi-core versions, with a maximum of 64 cores running up to 128 threads, 256MB of L3 cache and 2TB of DDR 8-channel memory. The newest Threadrippers are built with AMD’s latest 7 nanometer dies.  

“AMD EPYC™ processors are now a part of the world’s hyperscale data centers,” said Lisa Su, AMD’s CEO. Meta/Facebook is now building its servers with powerful third-generation AMD EPYC™ CPUs.
