we are here at the enterprise data center slash super computer lab at a in these Sunnyvale headquarters where they have got the definition of an all-hands-on-deck project going on here they pulled in their text and partners from around the world even markers corporate vice president of radio and technologies group is getting in on the action planning the power run for one of the most exceptional super computer systems ever created when it's full of 20 servers this single rack is going to be capable of one petaflop of full precision performance and AMD estimates it's an estimate they're not done building it yet that they'll be doing this at around half the cost of a computing solution not to mention more than double the flops per what and how are they doing such a thing well as crazy as it might sound AMD is actually letting me assemble one of the system's so uh well imma show you guys exactly how synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers at once check it out now at the link in the video description so pretty much everything you guys see in this room arrived about twelve hours ago at 346 in the morning from AMD partners like invent X Samsung and the melon awesome has been undergoing assembly and testing non-stop since then so it can be unveiled at SIGGRAPH in less than whole week so this video is as much a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work that goes into the glitzy polished show demonstrations as it is about this system that's good I kidding we're here for the beastly hardware so this in front of me is what AMD and invent a car calling rapini 47 and it's this that allows them to cram up to 640 GPU course that's 1280 threads if you prefer up to 40 terabytes of memory and up to 80 Radeon infant's Vega GPUs into a single rack with some rooms for high-speed networking like in Finnegan at a total of about 35,000 watts of power consumption this is about as power dense as you would want to go with air cooling using a rear door cooling system like what we saw at the SMU supercomputer recently so let's take a closer look at it at the front you've got some storage bays like you'd expect to find on a server though I don't think AMD or invent tech is expecting anybody to use these for more than just like a basic scratch disk and then on the back if we reason for it because that where the 100 gigabit InfiniBand connections go that handle job sharing servers as well as access to high-speed dedicated storage machines better elsewhere on the network moving inside at the heart of every p47 is the brand-new and d epic server processor this one is 32 cores on a single CPU with a 180 watt TDP 32 cores at 180 watts but that's actually not the whole story behind what gives g47 it's stunning efficiency each epoch can handle up to 2 terabytes of vdr for memory running in an 8 channel configuration at speeds of up to 20 666 megahertz that's great for virtualization rendering and machine intelligence our machines have 512 gigs of ram each but and this is the keys each epoch can also handle 128 PCI Express Lanes a hundred and twenty eight lanes so that's why a single epoch can be hooked up to up to six or even seven GPU with a full PCIe 16x Genting interface dedicated to everyone without a need for a second processor core APL X chip and that's what's plenty of bandwidth left over for high-speed nvme storage or high-speed networking and all that's critical because the real star of the show today is the Radeon Instinct mi-25 based on a Envy's of Vega architecture these puppies right here are actually responsible for the bulk of that petaflop of processing power every mi-25 is a full fat vega consuming 300 watts actually similar to the frontier Edition that already exists and the RX Vega that's coming but unlike those it lacks video outputs entirely and a fan since it was designed to be installed in specialized machines like this one where the tooling is integrated and this is sick the entire 16 gigs of HBM to memory can be accessed by another device on the PCI Express bus this allows high-speed communication between discreet Radeon insync mi-25 or even all their PCI Express devices that are connected to the system like even an MD or need storage life and this is without a proprietary connection like and be linked and all this high-speed communication enabled by epoch which you can kind of think of as both a CPU and the world's biggest PCI Express which is at the core of a new open source architecture that AMD is championing called Rock'em in a nutshell the idea is that every part of an all Andy server system is linked an extreme speed in a non-proprietary manner so the user can customize and scale up their supercomputer as they see fit want more performance just add more rack and while $15,000 might seem like a lot for a p-47 when you consider that AMG's initial estimate put them comfortably in a position to claim better performance per dollar for modern workloads like financial modeling diamond science and AI not to mention better performance for one you can see where they're confident about really shaking up the top 100 supercomputer list comes from and I wish them the absolute best of luck do you have two computers for some reason maybe one of them PC and one of them's Mac or Linux or whatever well synergy lets you solve the problem of having separate keyboards and mice for them once and for all you can share one Mouse and one keyboard between two or even more computers so you'll never get confused again they've got basic and pro options for synergy with a one-time payment and features include things like clipboard sharing between the computers dragging and dropping files between the computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more use our link in the video description and get 50% off synergy today so thanks for checking out our video here at AMD super computer labs and if you guys dislike this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit the like button to get some project you consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description also down there you've got a link to our t-shirts protest pieces like this one as well as our community forum where you can go and talk about all the cool stuff you saw today
