5th Gen AMD EPYC and H4D Virtual Machines For Cloud HPC
Google Cloud unveiled H4D virtual machines (VMs), it newest high performance computing (HPC) machine type, at Google Cloud Next
H4D virtual machines (VMs), which build on current HPC capabilities, are made to meet the changing demands of demanding workloads in sectors including manufacturing, weather forecasting, EDA, healthcare, and life sciences
The 5th Generation AMD EPYC Processors, which enable H4D virtual machines, have enhanced memory bandwidth of over 950 GB/s and better whole-node virtual machine performance of over 12,000 gflops
Strong compute performance and memory bandwidth are provided by H4D virtual machines (VMs), which greatly surpass earlier generations of AMD-based VMs such as C2D and C3D
In order to provide dependable, low-latency communication over Google Cloud Ethernet-based data centre networks, Cloud RDMA leverages Google’s ground-breaking Falcon hardware transport
Both Cluster Director (previously known as Hypercompute Cluster) and Dynamic Workload Scheduler (DWS) will be supported by H4D virtual machines
By making it simple for researchers to set up and conduct large-scale simulations, Cluster Director makes it easier to create and manage sophisticated HPC clusters using H4D virtual machines
To accommodate a range of workload needs, Google Cloud provide H4D virtual machines in both regular and high-memory configurations
