CTOnews.com, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) French company SiPearl announced Monday that it will cooperate with AMD to provide joint products for 10 billion-class supercomputers. Under the agreement, SiPearl will provide its Rhea processor, while AMD will provide its Instinct computing GPU.

The cooperation between the two companies will include the development of software compatible with Arm-based Rhea processors and the evaluation of the "interoperability" of AMD's ROCm open software with SiPearl Rhea CPU.

It is reported that AMD ROCm is an open platform for the GPU field near the metal software stack, it is obvious that SiPearl also wants to use it to program its own CPU.

SiPearl's Rhea SoC, which is mainly used for high performance computing (HPC) applications, contains 72 Arm Neoverse Zeus cores that are connected to each other through a mesh network.

In addition, it has a unique memory subsystem, which consists of four HBM2E memory stacks and six regular DDR5 memory. In this way, Rhea will be able to benefit from the limited bandwidth supported by HBM2E memory and the high memory capacity supported by DDR5.

Philippe Notton, chief executive and founder of SiPearl, said: "We welcome the cooperation with AMD, which will drive innovation in the HPC market over the years."

"this partnership with the world's leading AMD will further enrich our joint high-performance computing microprocessors and partner acceleration solutions. It provides a wider range of options for European supercomputer end-users and will enable Europe to meet the enormous challenges of our time, such as artificial intelligence, climate modeling and medical research."

CTOnews.com learned that the SiPearl Rhea processor is currently being implemented by Indian chip contract developer Open-Silicon Research, which will be manufactured by TSMC using its N6 process in 2023.

Brad McCredie, vice president of AMD data Center and accelerated processing, said:

High performance Computing is the Core of AMD Our AMD Instinct accelerator powered the first supercomputer to 100 trillion times per second, and we will continue to use our products to support a large number of high-performance computing installations around the world. "as the world continues to need higher computing performance to drive the next discovery that will change our society, AMD is pleased to work further with SiPearl in the European ecosystem to provide a clear path. To meet the tens of billions of supercomputing needs in Europe.
