Why choose AMD epyc for cloud solutions?

Like hot summer ,AMD It also accelerated the pace of attacking the city and uprooting the stronghold .

In the cloud computing market ,AMD Also continued the unstoppable attack .2 month , Google announced the launch of AMD A new way to support C2D Cloud instance , Bring powerful performance and computing power to customers to achieve high performance （HPC ) Electronic design automation (EDA) And computational fluid dynamics (CFD) Memory constrained workloads in areas such as , It shows AMD EPYC（ Xiaolong ） The incredible power of the processor .

AirShaper Benefit from this C2D One of the customers of cloud instances . AirShaper Is a provider of online computational fluid dynamics （CFD） Service enterprises . In the field of computational fluid dynamics , The traditional way is to run through powerful own hardware CFD, Not only does it require high maintenance costs , At the same time, it also needs to buy tens of thousands of dollars of software and professional engineers to complete .

And now AirShaper By adopting AMD The third generation EPYC（ Xiaolong ） Google processor C2D Cloud instances build an automated platform , Their platform allows users to simply upload 3D The model and some basic parameters are simulated and calculated, and the results are obtained .

Wouter Remmerie,AirShaper The CEO of the company said so C2D：

“ By means of C2D on CFD simulation , We have been able to reduce costs by nearly 50%, Compared with the previous generation of high-performance computing examples , The simulation time is shortened 30%.”

thus it can be seen , Whether it's enterprise applications or cloud service providers ,CPU High number of cores 、 High computing power and excellent cost performance It's their favorite .

 

AMD EPYC Processors are overwhelming in the cloud computing market

AMD EPYC The success of the , Based on continuous innovation . from 2019 The first generation of EPYC Processor time 50 Many performance world records , Up to now EPYC The processor gets 250 Many world records , In a matter of 3 Years of time ,AMD We have fulfilled our commitments to the market and customers ！ In the cloud computing market ,AMD EPYC With its excellent performance 、 efficient TCO And advanced safety functions , Pass the pass easily and kill the general , It has achieved a double harvest of word-of-mouth and market . Now? , Global operations AMD EPYC There are as many cloud instances 465 individual .AWS, Google , Microsoft and Tencent cloud in China , Alibaba cloud and others have fully launched AMD Processor driven cloud instances .

 

AMD EPYC Processor attack depends on strength

Don't talk much, pick the point ,AMD EPYC The technical advantages in the field of cloud computing are as follows ：

1、 Strong computational power ： Use advanced 7nm manufacturing process , Innovative “Zen3” framework , And “Zen 2” comparison , Realized 19% Of IPC promote , Greatly improve the single core execution ability , The highest frequency is up to 4.1GHz. It has stronger branch prediction ability , Integer throughput , double INT8 Unit and stronger floating-point capability , Significantly reduce memory latency .

2、 High core number ： the height is 64 The core density of the core , It can provide more efficient computing resources for computing intensive applications , This significantly improves performance and helps save costs . At the same time, it has a balanced and flexible architecture , It provides convenience for software architecture and performance tuning for applications in large data centers .

3.  Virtualization through secure encryption （SEV） Increase the comprehensive protection of the security layer ： The third generation AMD EPYC（ Xiaolong ） The processor provides SEV, By using only AMD Only the security processor knows 509 One of the keys encrypts each virtual machine , Greatly improve the security performance .

AMD The ecosystem of is growing radially

A good product must be inseparable from a perfect ecosystem . In addition to leading foreign cloud service providers AWS, Microsoft Azure, Gu Ge Yun ,Oracle,AMD It is also distributed domestically , The strategic cooperation with Tencent cloud is surging .

stay 2021 year 3 month , Tencent cloud has released a website based on AMD The third generation EPYC Processor new generation Xingxinghai server SA3, Highest offer 232 Single node computing power of three cores , It can satisfy users in video coding and decoding 、 Offline rendering 、 database 、AI And other scenarios .

According to Tencent cloud data ,2019 The first Xinghai smart water system in AC221 Since the release of the server , Issued in the year of contract settlement AMD Rome chip , A new upgrade and launch of the star sea SA2 example , And in half a year, the scale growth has far exceeded 400 times . It has quickly gained many customers and has been deployed in the core modules of the business on a large scale , The stable bearing capacity is nearly 2 The top Chinese Internet Spring Festival ,618 And double eleven peak flow , It also supports the rapid expansion of massive equipment during the epidemic , Become the preferred instance for customers to go to the cloud .

Combined with successful deployment experience , Tencent cloud is again 2021 Launched a new upgraded SA3 Cloud server , The third generation AMD EPYC processor . It can be said that the sea of stars SA3 Birth is the apotheosis . It's new SEV-SNP characteristic , It can protect data security more comprehensively ; With the previous generation SA2 comparison , In terms of heat dissipation , The cooling capacity of air cooling is improved 22%, And compatible with liquid cooling design , Can reduce carbon emissions 8%; Its bottom layer is based on brand new 100G Network architecture , It is far better than similar products in terms of bandwidth and forwarding performance . stay AI On the scene , Star sea SA3 The measured performance of is improved by 220% above .

Based on Tencent cloud smart water system star sea AC221 The server , A large number of users are galloping on the fast-growing highway , Help enterprises easily handle the daily operation and maintenance and traffic surge , And greatly enhance the competitiveness of enterprises and cost control .

2022 There are many hot spots in , Epidemic economy 、 Telecommuting 、 New data centers 、 Count from east to west 、 Enterprise digital transformation and so on , Their most prominent common ground is to help enterprises reduce costs . The future economic situation is becoming increasingly complex , Whether it's global 500 Strong or small and medium-sized enterprises will put cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the first place , Relying on excellent design and strong product performance ,AMD EPYC Driven by the cloud platform will provide more source power for enterprises , Help them meet new challenges , And promote the industry to move forward quickly .
