Breakthrough performance with OCI Compute HPC shapes powered by AMD EPYC
The E5.HPC shape based on AMD 4th Gen EPYC (codenamed Genoa) is closely related to E5.Standard, for which we published Ansys Fluent performance. E5.HPC is a 144-core bare-metal server on Oracle’s ultra low-latency remote direct memory access (RDMA) network that scales efficiently to tens of thousands of cores. Each E5.HPC instance comes with 3.2-TB local NVMe storage and 768 GB of fast DDR5 RAM.
Massively parallel GPU cluster computing for the largest AI and HPC jobs
Let’s look at a performance measurement of GPU clusters in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Prototypical benchmarks specific to each type of AI workload exist, from computer vision to recommendation engines to natural language processing (NLP). In this blog, we focus on a more universal benchmark of cluster network throughput and run the NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) benchmark, a commonly used and well-understood test.
