Google Cloud to use 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors for high-performance computing workloads
AMD announced that the AMD EPYC processors will power the new C2D virtual machine offering from Google Cloud. The company claims that this integration will provide strong performance and compute power for high-performance computing (HPC) memory-bound workloads to the consumers.
With the help of AMD EPYC processors, the C2D VMs will provide the largest VM sizes within the compute optimized family at Google Cloud. Along with this, the EPYC processor’s performance for compute focused workloads, Google Cloud showcased the C2D VMs can provide up to 30 percent better performance for targeted workloads compared to previous generation EPYC based VMs at a comparable size.
The company also said that the AMD EPYC processors for HPC and compute focused workloads continue to expand as more cloud service providers, like Google Cloud, are using EPYC to address their customers’ most demanding and intense workloads.
Speaking about the integration, Lynn Comp, corporate vice president, Cloud Business, AMD, said, “AMD EPYC processors continue to showcase their capabilities for HPC and compute focused workloads, whether running drug simulations for the latest vaccines, exploring the cosmos, or helping design critical hardware and electronics for the future of industry.
The Google Cloud C2D instances with AMD EPYC processors will enable Google Cloud customers to run some of their most complex and intense workloads with ease, helping them design their products or solve complex problems faster.”
