AMD¶
Work in Progress
This page is not yet complete. Content is being added gradually. Functionality may be incomplete or subject to change. Thank you for your patience!
The FTP provides access to a range of AMD compute nodes combining high-core-count EPYC Milan CPUs with AMD Instinct GPU accelerators. These systems are well-suited for HPC workloads, GPU-accelerated computing, and evaluation of the ROCm software stack.
All AMD nodes are installed in the x86 cluster and are accessible via the x86 login node.
Hardware Overview¶
Four node types are available, differing in the attached GPU accelerator:
| Node type | CPU | GPU | Queue |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Milan + MI100 | AMD EPYC Milan (2×64 cores) | AMD Instinct MI100 | amd-milan-mi100 |
| AMD Milan + MI210 | AMD EPYC Milan (2×64 cores) | AMD Instinct MI210 | amd-milan-mi210 |
| AMD Milan + MI250 | AMD EPYC Milan (2×64 cores) | AMD Instinct MI250 | amd-milan-mi250 |
| AMD Instinct MI300A | AMD EPYC (integrated) | AMD Instinct MI300A (APU) | amd-milan-mi300 |
The MI300A is an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) that integrates CPU cores, GPU compute units, and HBM3 memory on a single package, eliminating the traditional CPU–GPU data transfer bottleneck.
Access¶
AMD nodes are available to all FTP users. See the FTP overview for how to request access.
Using AMD Nodes¶
Connect to the x86 login node and submit jobs to one of the AMD partitions:
Use sbatch or salloc to access the desired partition, e.g.:
or, for interactive use:
Software for AMD¶
AMD GPU nodes support the ROCm (Radeon Open Compute) software stack, which provides HIP, OpenCL, and various AI/ML frameworks. Existing CUDA code can often be ported using the hipify tool.
