Understanding the Rising Significance of FPGAs and GPUs in a CPU World

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.

The Perfect Combination: The Weka Next-Gen File System, Supermicro A+ Servers and AMD EPYC™ CPUs

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.

Mercedes-AMG F1 Racing Team Gains an Edge with AMD’s EPYC™ Processors

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 Increases Blockchain-Based App Performance with Supermicro Servers

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.

AMD’s Threadripper: Higher-Performance Computing from a Desktop Processor

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.
