AMD’s Long And Winding Road To The Hybrid CPU-GPU Instinct MI300A
Back in 2012, when AMD was in the process of backing out of the datacenter CPU business and did not really have its datacenter GPU act together at all, the US Department of Energy exhibited the enlightened self-interest that is a strong foundation of both economics and politics and took a chance and invested in AMD to do research in memory technologies and hybrid CPU-GPU computing at exascale. …

The Third Time Charm Of AMD’s Instinct GPU
The great thing about the Cambrian explosion in compute that has been forced by the end of Dennard scaling of clock frequencies and Moore’s Law lowering in the cost of transistors is not only that we are getting an increasing diversity of highly tuned compute engines and broadening SKU stacks across those engines, but also that we are getting many different interpretations of the CPU, GPU, DPU, and FPGA themes. …
