SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD.US)$ and Microsoft continued their collaboration in the cloud, with Microsoft announcing the use of AMD Instinct™ MI200 accelerators to power large scale AI training workloads. In addition, Microsoft announced it is working closely with the PyTorch Core team and AMD data center software team to optimize the performance and developer experience for customers running PyTorch on Microsoft Azure and ensure that developers' PyTorch projects take advantage of the performance and features of AMD Instinct accelerators.
"AMD Instinct MI200 accelerators provide customers with cutting-edge AI and HPC performance and will power many of the world's fastest supercomputer systems that push the boundaries of science," said Brad McCredie, corporate vice president, Data Center and Accelerated Processing, AMD. "Our work with Microsoft to enable large-scale AI training and inference in the cloud not only highlights the expansive technology collaboration between the two companies, but the performance capabilities of AMD Instinct MI200 accelerators and how they will ultimately help customers advance the growing demands for AI workloads."
"We're proud to build upon our long-term commitment to innovation with AMD and make Azure the first public cloud to deploy clusters of the AMD Instinct MI200 accelerator for large scale AI training," said Eric Boyd, corporate vice president, Azure AI, Microsoft. "We have started testing the MI200 with our own AI workloads and are seeing great performance, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with AMD to bring customers more performance, choice and flexibility for their AI needs."
The AMD Instinct MI200 accelerators join other AMD products being used at Microsoft Azure including the newly announced Azure HBv3 virtual machines which use 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology, and numerous other instances for confidential computing, general purpose workloads, memory bound workloads, visual workloads and more.
加利福尼亞州聖克拉拉，2022年5月26日(環球通訊社)$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD.US)$微軟繼續在雲領域進行合作，微軟宣佈使用AMD本能™MI200加速器來支持大規模的人工智能訓練工作。此外，微軟宣佈正在與PyTorch核心團隊和AMD數據中心軟件團隊密切合作，為在Microsoft Azure上運行PyTorch的客户優化性能和開發人員體驗，並確保開發人員的PyTorch項目利用AMD本能加速器的性能和功能。
AMD數據中心和加速處理公司副總裁Brad McCredie説：“AMD本能MI200加速器為客户提供尖端的AI和HPC性能，並將驅動世界上許多最快的超級計算機系統，推動科學的邊界。”我們與微軟合作，在雲中實現大規模的人工智能培訓和推理，這不僅突顯了兩家公司之間廣泛的技術合作，還突顯了AMD本能MI200加速器的性能能力，以及它們最終將如何幫助客户推進對人工智能工作負載日益增長的需求。
微軟Azure AI公司副總裁Eric Boyd表示：“我們很自豪能夠在我們與AMD的長期創新承諾的基礎上再接再厲，並使Azure成為第一個部署AMD本能MI200加速器集羣以進行大規模人工智能培訓的公共雲。”我們已經開始用我們自己的人工智能工作負載測試MI200，並看到了很好的性能，我們期待着繼續與AMD合作，為客户帶來更多的性能、選擇和靈活性，滿足他們的人工智能需求。“
AMD本能MI200加速器加入了Microsoft Azure正在使用的其他AMD產品，包括新發布的Azure HBv3虛擬機，它使用3研發採用AMD 3D V-™™技術的Gen AMD EPYC處理器，以及用於機密計算、通用工作負載、內存受限工作負載、可視化工作負載等的眾多其他實例。
