Performance Intensive Computing

Using six nanometer processes and the CDNA2 graphics dies, AMD has created the third generation of GPU accelerators, which have more than twice the performance of previous GPU processors and deliver 181 teraflops of mixed precision peak computing power.

The Lawrence Livermore National Lababoratory chose to use a cluster of 120 servers running AMD EPYC™ processors with nearly 1,000 AMD Instinct™ GPU accelerators. The hardware, facilitated by Supermicro, was an excellent match for the molecular dynamics simulations required for the Lab's cutting-edge research, which combines machine learning with structural biology concepts.
