SiPearl and AMD Join Forces to Develop European Exascale Systems
SiPearl, the company designing the highperformance, low-power microprocessor for European supercomputers, has entered into a business collaboration agreement with AMD to provide a joint offering for exascale supercomputing systems, combining SiPearl's HPC microprocessor, Rhea, with AMD Instinct accelerators.
Initially, AMD and SiPearl will jointly assess the interoperability of the AMD ROCm open software with the SiPearl Rhea microprocessor and build an optimized software solution that would strengthen the capabilities of a SiPearl microprocessor combined with an AMD Instinct accelerator. This joint work targets porting and optimization activities of the AMD HIP backend, openMP compilers and libraries, will enable scientific applications to benefit from both technologies.
