Microsoft Azure’s More Capable Compute Instances Take Advantage of the Latest AMD EPYC™ ProcessorsAzure 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. |
Supermicro SuperBlades®: Designed to Power Through Distributed AI/ML Training ModelsRunning 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. |
AMD’s Threadripper: Higher-Performance Computing from a Desktop ProcessorThe 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. |
Red Hat’s OpenShift Runs More Efficiently with Supermicro’s SuperBlade® ServersThe 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. |
