News AMD's revolutionary exascale APU under the microscope — MI300A processor gets deep dive paper from AMD engineers

[Admin]

The AMD Instinct MI300A APU is AMD's most powerful processor to date, and AMD's researchers have published their latest paper describing the journey of bringing "exascale heterogeneous processing" to life.

"Only one other computer reaches one exaFLOPS, with the rest at 500 teraFLOPS or lower."

I'm sure this is supposed to be 500 tFLOPS or more lower performance or >=500 petaFLOPs.

Is it really an "exascale APU" if it takes thousands of them to reach 2 exaflops?

I think you're being cute, but I've heard people talk of things like "The Exascale Era". So, perhaps the term "Exascale APU" is really just short for "Exascale Era APU" or "Exascale-enabling APU".

"The on-average doubling of performance certainly proves ..."

I notice phoronix consistently uses geo mean ... around 1.6 for this case
