Description
This paper is a companion to the AMD EPYC Empowers Single-Socket Servers white paper and explores AMD’s EPYC server system-on-chip (SoC) and its strong potential as a high-performance host to graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerators in servers. We specifically look at deep learning applications on both single-socket (1S) and dual-socket (2S) server designs – for third-party accelerators and those using the AMD Radeon Instinct GPU accelerators based on AMD’s upcoming “Vega 10” architecture.
