AMD: Delivering the Future of High-Performance Computing

Dr. Lisa Su from AMD gave this talk at the recent DARPA Electronics Resurgence Initiative Summit. “Optimum system performance requires co-design of silicon chips, system architecture, and software. She presented the example of the Frontier exascale computer system being developed for Oak Ridge National Lab, which should exhibit 1.5 exaflops by 2021. While the highest-performance chips and systems will initially be limited to the most expensive machines, it is expected that similar technology will become available within a few years in data centers, edge computers, and even mobile devices.”
