[{"type":"text","content":"— AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct accelerators powered 101 supercomputers in the latest Top500 list, a 38% increase year-over-year —\nSANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the Supercomputing Conference 2022 (SC22), AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) showcased its continued momentum and dominating presence within the high performance computing (HPC) industry. AMD EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ accelerators continue to be the processors of choice for the most demanding HPC workloads powering the most complex simulations and modeling tools. “Innovation in high performance computing has a dramatic impact on society, advancing groundbreaking research that has the potential to vastly improve quality of life for people everywhere,” said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Data Center Solutions Group, AMD. “AMD is constantly innovating and evolving our EPYC processors and Instinct accelerators to ensure scientists and researchers working on solving the world’s toughest challenges have the most cutting-edge tools for their research.” Key Highlights in HPCAs seen in the latest Top500 list, AMD is driving innovation in both performance and efficiency. The latest list includes 101 supercomputers powered by AMD, compared to 73 on the November 2021 list, representing a 38 percent increase year over year. The Frontier supercomputer, powered by AMD processors and AMD accelerators, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), remains at the top of the Top500 list with 1.1 exaflops. Frontier is more than twice as powerful as the next system on the list and more powerful than the next four systems combined. Finally, Frontier’s mixed-precision computing performance clocked in at 7.94 exaflops, as measured by the HPL-MxP Mixed-Precision Benchmark. The Setonix system, powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct accelerators, at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, made it onto the Top500 list in the number 15 slot with 27.2 petaflops. Additionally, AMD powers 75 percent of the top 20 systems on the Green500 list including the number two spot with the Frontier test and development system (TDS) and the number six spot with the full system. The Adastra supercomputer, procured by GENCI, delivered 58.02 gigaflops/watt and placed third on the list. Adastra was the first supercomputing system to be powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs and AM...
