AMD Receives IEEE 2024 Corporate Innovation Award for Leadership in Chiplet Design for High-Performance and Adaptive Computing
May 08 2024 - 9:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) received the prestigious 2024 Corporate
Innovation Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) during a May 3 ceremony in Boston. The award
recognizes AMD for pioneering the development and deployment of
chiplet architecture designs for high-performance and adaptive
computing.
AMD was among the first companies to leverage the benefits of
chiplet architecture at scale to deliver significant advances in
processor performance, efficiency and flexibility, extending the
historical performance gains of Moore’s Law. In 2018, AMD
introduced the first processor to feature a revolutionary
chiplet-based x86 CPU design, the second-generation AMD EPYC™
server processor powered by the “Zen 2” core architecture. Since
then, AMD has incorporated chiplet architectures across its
leadership product portfolio, including AMD Ryzen™ CPUs for PCs,
AMD EPYC processors for data centers and AMD Instinct™ accelerators
for high performance computing (HPC) and AI.
“Several years ago, our passionate, world-class engineering
teams began addressing the scaling challenges of traditional chip
design,” said Mark Papermaster, executive vice president and chief
technical officer, AMD. “Everyone takes modular architecture for
granted now, but at the time it was radical thinking. Its success
is as much a feat of engineering as a testament to the power of
teams with diverse skills and expertise working together, despite
uncertainty and risk, toward a common vision.”
AMD engineered the new processor design approach by distributing
traditionally monolithic SoC designs into multiple smaller
“chiplets.” This revolutionary shift allowed AMD to accelerate
time-to-market with highly-performant, energy efficient and
cost-effective chips that leveraged common designs for multiple
markets.
The company’s leadership in driving chiplet design and
innovation at scale continues to extend gains in computing
performance and efficiency, enabling the industry to better address
some of the world’s most challenging problems. For example,
chiplet-based AMD EPYC processors are in use within the Frontier
supercomputer, the world’s first exascale supercomputer that is
helping scientists to develop innovative technologies for energy,
medicine, and materials.
For nearly a century, the IEEE Awards Program has paid tribute
to researchers, inventors, innovators, educators, and practitioners
whose exceptional achievements and outstanding contributions have
made a lasting impact on technology, society, and the engineering
profession. Each year, the IEEE Awards Board recommends a small
number of extraordinary individuals for IEEE's most prestigious
honors. This is the second time AMD has received this award; in
2005 IEEE recognized the company for innovations in the evolution
of the x86 microprocessors and its extension to a 64-bit
architecture, which is the foundation of modern data centers and
PCs.
