AMD shows off one petaflop Project 47

#AMD has collaborated with #Inventec to build a single server rack with one #petaflop of processing power. #Project47 is based off of Inventec’s P-series massively parallel computing platform, and combines AMD’s #Epyc CPUs with its #RadeonInstinct GPUs.

Feel the power

In total, it packs together twenty 2U P-47 systems, which each house a single Epyc7601 CPU, four Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU accelerators.machine and half a terabyte of memory. A Mellanox 100Gb InfiniBand router is built into the rack.

“To bring Project 47 to life, #AMD worked closely with #Samsung Electronics with respect to the #HBM2 memory used across the “Vega”-based product lines including the Radeon Instinct MI25 accelerators,” Mark Hirsch, corporate VP, systems & solutions for the #Radeon Technologies Group, said in a blog post. 

“Samsung also provided high-performance NVMe SSD storage and high-speed DDR4 memory to enable the one petaflops of performance. ”

He added: “The incredible performance-per-dollar and performance-per-watt of Project 47 makes supercomputing a more affordable reality than ever before, whether for machine learning, virtualization or rendering.”

Project 47 will be available from Inventec and their principal distributor AMAX in Q4 2017
