Google Cloud's infrastructure will help AMD achieve more
flexibility with semiconductor design needs
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 19, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Google Cloud and AMD today announced a technology
partnership in which AMD will run electronic design automation
(EDA) for its chip-design workloads on Google Cloud, further
extending the on-premises capabilities of AMD data centers. AMD
will also leverage Google Cloud's global networking, storage,
artificial intelligence, and machine learning capabilities to
further improve upon its hybrid and multicloud strategy for these
EDA workloads.
Scale, elasticity, and efficient utilization of resources play
critical roles in chip design, particularly given that the demand
for compute processing grows with each node advancement. To remain
flexible and scale easily, AMD will add Google Cloud's newest
compute-optimized C2D VM instance, powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, to its suite of resources
focused on EDA workloads. By leveraging Google Cloud, AMD
anticipates being able to run more designs in parallel, giving the
team more flexibility to manage short-term compute demands, without
reducing allocation on long-term projects.
"In today's semiconductor environment, the speed, scale, and
security of the cloud unlock much needed flexibility," said
Sachin Gupta, GM and VP,
Infrastructure, at Google Cloud. "We are pleased to provide the
infrastructure required to meet AMD's compute performance needs and
equip the company with our AI solutions to continue designing
innovative chips."
"Leveraging the Google Cloud C2D instances powered by 3rd Gen
EPYC processors for our complex EDA workloads has helped our
engineering and IT teams tremendously. C2D has allowed us to be
more flexible and provided a new avenue of high-performance
resources that allows us to mix and match the right compute
solution for our complex EDA workflows," said Mydung Pham, corporate vice president, Silicon
Design Engineering, at AMD. "We're happy to work with Google Cloud
to take advantage of their wealth of cloud features and the
capabilities of 3rd Gen EPYC."
Through this multi-year technology partnership, Google Cloud and
AMD will continue to explore new capabilities and innovations,
while AMD will enjoy benefits such as:
- Increased flexibility and choice to run applications in the
most efficient manner possible
- Improved design and operations from applied Google Cloud
artificial intelligence and machine learning tools and
frameworks
- More transparency with costs and resource consumption
- Greater agility and less vendor lock-in
