AMD has announced that it will use AMD Instinct MI200 accelerators to support large-scale AI training workloads on Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft announced that it is working closely with the PyTorch Core team and AMD datacenter software team to optimize the performance and developer experience for customers running PyTorch on Microsoft Azure, and enable developers to take advantage of the performance and features of AMD Instinct accelerators in PyTorch projects.
Brad McCredie, Corporate Vice President of Data Center and Accelerated Processing, AMD, “AMD Instinct MI200 accelerators will power many of the world’s fastest supercomputer systems by delivering cutting-edge AI and HPC performance to customers. Large-scale AI in the cloud. “Our work with Microsoft to drive education and inference not only highlights the extensive technology collaboration between the two companies, but also demonstrates the performance capabilities of AMD Instinct MI200 accelerators and how they will ultimately respond to customers’ growing AI demands.”
Azure “We are proud to build on your long-term commitment to innovation with AMD and make Azure the first public cloud to deploy AMD Instinct MI200 accelerator clusters for large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) training,” said Eric Boyd, corporate vice president, AI
. AMD Instinct MI200 accelerator Azure HBv3 virtual machines using 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology are added alongside many AMD products used in Microsoft Azure while enabling general purpose workloads, connected workloads, visual workloads and more. .
