New AMD Alveo V80 Accelerator for HPC and Compute-Intensive Workloads

To deliver optimized hardware-accelerated systems tailored for a wide spectrum of compute-intensive workloads, AMD launched the Alveo V80 Compute Accelerator Card. This new hardware adaptable accelerator is purpose-built to overcome performance bottlenecks for compute-intensive workloads with large data sets common to HPC, data analytics and network security applications.

Powered by the AMD Versal HBM Series adaptive SoC, the Alveo V80 accelerator card offers up to a 2X increase in memory bandwidth and logic density, and up to 4X the network bandwidth compared to the previous generationⁱ It delivers massive hardware parallelism and 820GB/s memory bandwidth while hardware flexibility allows for real-time acceleration of diverse and custom workloads and data types for applications such as genomic sequencing, molecular dynamics, sensor processing, blockchain, and next- generation firewall and network security. Supermicro is integrating the Alveo V80 accelerator with AMD EPYC CPU-powered Supermicro servers.

“Supermicro’s strategic and long-standing collaboration with AMD enables us to address customer requirements for grappling with compute-intensive and memory-bound workloads at scale with superior time-to-delivery,” said Michael McNerney, SVP, Marketing and Network Security, Supermicro. “By leveraging the AMD Alveo V80 accelerator alongside our A+ server family, including the AS-4125GS-TNRT, customers can immediately take advantage of this compact 4U server solution for deployments where compute density and memory bandwidth are critical.”

Furthering the HPC and AI Ecosystem

Throughout the year, AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct accelerators have been leveraged to power many new supercomputers, including:

• Italian energy company Eni announced their new HPC6 supercomputer, powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs. Once completed, HPC6 will be one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers dedicated to industrial applications.
• Lenovo and the University of Paderborn recently announced plans to build a new supercomputer powered by AMD EPYC CPUs. The installation is expected to start by the second half of 2024.
• The High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS) has announced plans to build The Hunter system, which will be powered by the AMD Instinct MI300A accelerators.
• AGH University of Krakow unveiled a new supercomputer, powered by 4^th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, called Helios, which will be Poland’s fastest system to-date.
• AMD recently released ROCm 6.1 which consists of new features and optimizations to improve the stability and performance of applications powered by the latest AMD Instinct MI300 Series GPUs.
