Performance Intensive Computing

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.  

The Supermicro SuperBlade's advantage for the Red Hat OCP environment is that it supports a higher-density infrastructure and lower-latency network configuration, along with benefits from reduced cabling, power and shared cooling features. SuperBlades feature multiple AMD EPYC™ processors using fast DDR4 3200MHz memory modules.

“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.

Lodestar is a complete management suite for developing artificial intelligence-based computer vision models from video data. It can handle the navigation and curation of a native video stream without any preparation. Lodestar annotates and labels video, and using artificial intelligence, creates searchable, structured data.
