AMD is leading the way into the Exascale era through its EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPU. In this presentation we will briefly review the direction of travel AMD is taking for HPC; and then look in more detail at the third and current generation EPYC CPU, Milan, discussing its architecture and associated application characterization. Some discussion on the AMD Software Development Environment for the EPYC CPUs will also be included.
Biography
Jason Hogan-O’Neill is the Director of the HPC Centre of Excellence within AMD. He leads a global team of Senior and Principal Field Application Engineers within AMD that help partners and customers extract maximum performance through characterization, publishing tuning guides, and working with our Architecture and Platform design teams. Hogan-O’Neill joined AMD as a Principal Engineer just as AMD launched its first generation EPYC CPU. Prior to AMD, he led country and regional presales teams at Bull, Atos, and Cray, and in the very distant past, gained a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Theoretical Physics investigating grain-boundary defects in High Temperature Superconductors.
