Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) showcased its high performance computing
(HPC) leadership at ISC High Performance 2023 and celebrated, along
with key partners, its first year of breaking the exascale barrier.
AMD EPYC™ processors and AMD Instinct™ accelerators continue to be
the solutions of choice behind many of the most innovative, green
and powerful supercomputers in the world, powering 121
supercomputers on the latest Top500 list.
“AMD’s mission in high-performance computing is to enable our
customers to tackle the world’s most important challenges,” said
Forrest Norrod, executive vice president and general manager, Data
Center Solutions Business Group, AMD. “Our industry partners and
the global HPC community continue to leverage the performance and
efficiency of AMD EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators to
advance their groundbreaking work and scientific
discoveries.”
AMD Powered Frontier Moves into Full User
Operations
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory,
powered by AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct accelerators,
remains the fastest computer in the world - for the third list in a
row. Frontier’s performance increased to 1.194 exaflops, adding 92
petaflops of performance since the November 2022 ranking. The
additional 92 petaflops would place eighth on the latest Top500
list. As well, Frontier still remains one of the most energy
efficient systems in the world. The Frontier Test and Development
System is number two on the Green500 with the full system placing
sixth.
This year marks the one-year anniversary of the Frontier
officially breaking the exascale barrier for the first time, a feat
that remains unmatched. Since then, Frontier entered full user
operations and is now supporting users from numerous scientific
disciplines. A sample of studies currently using the power of the
Frontier supercomputer include:
- Cancer Distributed Learning Environment (CANDLE) which seeks to
develop predictive simulations that could help identify and
streamline trials for promising cancer treatments, reducing years
of lengthy, expensive clinical studies.
- WarpX which looks to simulate smaller, more versatile
plasma-based particle accelerators and enable scientists to design
particle accelerators for everything from radiation therapy to
making semiconductor chips. The team’s work won the 2022 Gordon
Bell Prize, which recognizes outstanding achievement in
high-performance computing.
- ExaSky which plans to expand the size, scope and accuracy of
simulations for complex cosmological phenomena such as dark matter
to uncover new insights into the dynamics of the universe.
"WarpX is a first-of-its-kind application that enables 3D
simulations of laser-plasma physics. As the team worked on the
application as part of the DOE Exascale Computing Project, we knew
that it needed to be optimized from the get-go to run on the
world’s fastest supercomputer, Frontier,” said Axel Huebl, lead
software architect of WarpX at Berkeley Lab. “What made our jobs
easy was the fact that the GPU kernels that support the AMD
Instinct accelerators and the ROCm open software platform are
written in modern C++ with a fully open software stack. This and
close iteration on early software and hardware previews gave the
WarpX team the confidence and ease to get up and running quickly on
Frontier, with fantastic results, that ultimately helped us win the
Gordon Bell prize.”
Driving a Robust HPC and AI Ecosystem
AMD is also providing the hardware and software portfolio needed
to meet the rapidly growing demand for AI applications within the
HPC industry.
For hardware, the AMD Instinct MI250X and AMD EPYC processors
take the top two spots in the latest HPL-MxP mixed-precision
benchmark, which highlights the convergence of HPC and AI
workloads, with the Frontier and LUMI systems. Frontier posted a
score of 9.95 exaflops of mixed precision performance, adding two
exaflops to its score from the previous list. While Lumi posted a
score of 2.2 exaflops in the HPL-MxP benchmark.
Beyond hardware, AMD works with the HPC and AI community to
drive the next wave of innovation and support new applications
through open software. The AMD ROCm™ open software platform is
utilized across multiple large scale HPC systems and has
demonstrated stability, robustness and use at this massive scale.
ROCm support of large AI models is also rapidly expanding on
industry-leading TensorFlow and PyTorch frameworks to help users
accelerate AI workloads on AMD Instinct hardware.
For example, the LUMI Supercomputer at CSC Finland is being used
to train and power a GPT-3 large language model (LLM) with 13
billion parameters based entirely on Finnish. As well, LUMI is also
being used by the Allen Institute for AI to train a new LLM for
scientific discovery called Open Language Model (OLMo). OLMo is a
uniquely open language model intended to benefit the research
community by providing access and education around all aspects of
model creation.
Accelerating Adoption of AMD-Processor Powered
Systems
AMD demonstrated new collaborations that are advancing what’s
possible for solving the world’s most complex problems. Systems
leveraging AMD products include:
- A new supercomputer from Atos for the Max Planck Society
powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct MI300
accelerators for research around astrophysics, life science
research, materials research, plasma physics and AI.
- The Adastra system, one of the fastest and greenest in Europe,
managed by GENCI and housed at CINES was commissioned, installed
and is now available to French and European researchers.
- LUMI, one of the fastest and most energy efficient
supercomputers in the world. Leveraging AMD EPYC and AMD Instinct
processors, LUMI is being used to power new research around climate
change and cancer.
- A new supercomputer launched in April 2023 from Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL) and the U.S. National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration dedicated to climate science
research.
- Nautilus, a new supercomputer from the U.S. Navy DoD
Supercomputing Resource Center will support development of weather
and ocean products is powered by AMD EPYC CPUs.
Enabling More Energy Efficient Computing
In HPC, energy efficiency is a top priority for the industry to
meet sustainability commitments and enable the next generation of
supercomputers. AMD is driving innovation and setting new industry
standards around energy efficiency. On the latest Green500 list,
AMD powers seven of the top 10 systems on the including spots two
through seven with AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct Accelerators.
A highlight of energy efficiency is the AMD powered LUMI
supercomputer which is the both the fastest supercomputer in Europe
and one of the most efficient. LUMI also takes this the next step
by running on 100 percent carbon neutral hydroelectric power and
capturing waste heat to power the surrounding city.
