• AMPD Ventures has announced a Machine Learning Cloud initiative featuring AMD Instinct MI100 accelerators and AMD ROCm open software platform.

AMPD Ventures has announced a ‘Machine Learning Cloud’ initiative featuring AMD Instinct MI100 accelerators along with the AMD ROCm open software platform. Designed to cater to companies’ requirements in the AI, ML and deep learning sectors, the platform will initially be hosted at AMPD’s DC1 data centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, but is soon expected to expand into other territories.

Termed as the world’s fastest high-performance computing GPU, AMD Instinct MI100 was launched in November 2020 and was designed on AMD’s all-new AMD CDNA architecture. This led to the accelerator becoming the industry’s first data centre GPU to exceed 10 Teraflops (FP64), stated the company in its official release. And AMPD Ventures is now the first company in Canada to leverage these accelerators’ power on a service basis.
