AMD Highlights Growing Cloud Momentum With New Amazon EC2 Instances for High Performance Computing
January 12 2022 - 9:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) has
expanded its AMD EPYC™ processor-based offerings with the general
availability of the new Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances, which are
purpose-built for high performance computing (HPC) workloads in the
cloud.
According to AWS, Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances deliver up to 65
percent better price-performance compared to similar Amazon EC2
instances. Hpc6a will help customers run their most
compute-intensive HPC workloads like, genomics, computational fluid
dynamics, weather forecasting, financial risk modeling, EDA for
semiconductor design, computer-aided engineering, and seismic
imaging.
Throughout the HPC industry, there has been a growing preference
for AMD as showcased by AMD EPYC processors powering 73
supercomputers on the latest Top500 list and holding 70 HPC world
records1. The new Hpc6a instances bring the leadership performance
and capabilities of 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors to
compute-optimized Amazon EC2 instances used for highly complex HPC
workloads.
“Our processors power all levels of HPC, from exascale systems
in research laboratories to flexible HPC cloud computing instances
like the new Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances. AMD EPYC processors
provide a powerful solution for Amazon EC2 customers that need
access to impressive HPC performance and cloud scalability for
their workloads,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and
general manager, Server Business, AMD. “Our work with AWS
exemplifies our commitment to powering cutting edge technology in
the HPC industry and helping customers find answers to the world’s
most pressing questions.”
“Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances, powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC
processors, allow organizations the flexibility to run HPC
workloads requiring an abundance of compute power, fast memory and
storage, and high levels of inter-instance communication without
the upfront cost of building and maintaining HPC infrastructure
on-premises,” said David Brown, vice president, Amazon EC2, AWS.
“We’re excited to continue our collaboration with AMD and add
another crucial AMD EPYC instance to the Amazon EC2 portfolio.”
The instances powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors are
available today in US East (Ohio) and AWS GovCloud (US-West), with
availability in additional AWS Regions planned soon. AWS customers
can visit the Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances page to get started.
