AMD Instinct MI210’s 2nd Gen AMD CDNA Architecture Uses AI
Tumblr media
GigaIO
GigaIO & AMD: Facilitating increased computational effectiveness, scalability, and quicker AI workload deployments.
It always find it interesting to pick up knowledge from those that recognise the value of teamwork in invention. GigaIO CEO Alan Benjamin is one of those individuals. GigaIO is a workload-defined infrastructure provider for technical computing and  artificial intelligence.
GigaIO SuperNODE
They made headlines last year when they configured 32 AMD Instinct MI210 accelerators to a single-node server known as the SuperNODE. Previously, in order to access 32 GPUs, four servers with eight GPUs each were needed, along with the additional costs and latency involved in connecting all of that additional hardware. Alan and myself had a recent conversation for the AMD EPYC TechTalk audio series, which you can listen to here. In the blog article below, They’ve shared a few highlights from the interview.
Higher-performance computing (HPC) is in greater demand because to the emergence of generative AI at a time when businesses are routinely gathering, storing, and analysing enormous volumes of data. Data centres are therefore under more pressure to implement new infrastructures that meet these rising demands for performance and storage.
However, setting up larger HPC systems is more complicated, takes longer, and can be more expensive. There’s a chance that connecting or integrating these systems will result in choke points that impede response times and solution utilisation.
A solution for scaling accelerator technology is offered by Carlsbad, California-based GigaIO, which does away with the increased expenses, power consumption, and latency associated with multi-CPU systems. GigaIO provides FabreX, the dynamic memory fabric that assembles rack-scale resources, in addition to SuperNode. Data centres can free up compute and storage resources using GigaIO and share them around a cluster by using a disaggregated composable infrastructure (DCI).
GigaIO has put a lot of effort into offering something that may be even more beneficial than superior performance, in addition to assisting businesses in getting the most out of their computer resources.
GigaIO Networks Inc
“Easy setup and administration of rapid systems may be more significant than performance “Alan said. “Many augmented-training and inferencing companies have approached us for an easy way to enhance their capabilities. But assure them that their ideas will function seamlessly. You can take use of more GPUs by simply dropping your current container onto a SuperNODE.”
In order to deliver on the “it just works” claim, GigaIO and AMD collaborated to design the TensorFlow and PyTorch libraries into the SuperNODE’s hardware and software stack. SuperNODE will function with applications that have not been modified.
“Those optimised containers that are optimised literally for servers that have four or eight GPUs, you can drop them onto a SuperNODE with 32 GPUs and they will just run,” Alan stated. “In most cases you will get either 4x or close to 4x, the performance advantage.”
The necessity for HPC in the scientific and engineering communities gave rise to GigaIO. These industries’ compute needs were initially driven by CPUs and were just now beginning to depend increasingly on GPUs. That started the race to connect bigger clusters of GPUs, which has resulted in an insatiable appetite for more GPUs.
Alan stated that there has been significant increase in the HPC business due to the use of  AI and huge language models. However, GigaIO has recently witnessed growth in the augmentation space, where businesses are using  AI to improve human performance.
GigaIO Networks
In order to accomplish this, businesses require foundational models in the first place, but they also want to “retrain and fine-tune” such models by adding their own data to them.
Alan looks back on his company’s accomplishment of breaking the 8-GPU server restriction, which many were doubtful could be accomplished. He believes GigaIO’s partnership with AMD proved to be a crucial component.
Alan used the example of Dr. Moritz Lehmann’s testing SuperNODE on a computational fluid dynamic program meant to replicate airflow over the Concord’s wings at landing speed last year to highlight his points. Lehmann created his model in 32 hours without changing a single line of code after gaining access to SuperNODE. Alan calculated that the task would have taken more than a year if he had relied on eight GPUs and conventional technology.
“A great example of AMD GPUs and CPUs working together “Alan said. This kind of cooperation has involved several iterations. [Both firms have] performed admirably in their efforts to recognise and address technological issues at the engineering level.”

GigaIO Fabrex™: The Highest Performance, Lowest Latency Rack-Scale Network on the Planet
Imagine this…
You just spent a lot on a rack of servers and multiple GPUs to solve your computational problems.
You don’t know it yet, but your GPUs are mostly left untouched even with finely tuned models and servers, so you end up wasting space, energy, and well. your power bills.
GigaIO™ solves this problem with FabreX – the highest performance, lowest latency rack-scale network you can get.
With FabreX, you can now increase utilisation and eliminate over provisioning of resources, which helps reduce cooling expenses. On top of that, you’re also able to save space with fewer power-consuming servers and accelerators for the exact same performance.
You must be wondering…
What is GigaIO™?
GigaIO™ provides Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure solutions, which comes in both hardware and software.
The hardware consists of:
·        FabreX Top of Rack (TOR) Switch
·        FabreX PCIe Gen4 Adapter
GigaIO™ FabreX™ Network Adapter Card enables non-blocking low-latency PCIe Gen4 which gives AI/ML, HPC, and Data Analytics users the flexibility to create exactly the system they need for optimised performance and reduced total cost of ownership.
·        Accelerator Pooling Appliance
The GigaIO™ Gen4 Accelerator Pooling Appliance is the industry’s highest performing PCIe accelerator appliance fully supporting PCIe Gen4 with up to 1Tb/sec bandwidth into and out of the box. Support up to 8 double-width PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 accelerator cards with up to 300W delivered to every slot; and 2 PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 low-profile slots.
 Besides GPUs, it also supports FPGAs, IPUs, DPUs, thin-NVMe-servers and specialty AI chips.
 The software offered:
 ·        FabreX Software
A Linux-based, resource-efficient software layers engine that drives the performance and dynamic composability of GigaIO’s Software-Defined HardwareTM (SDH).
It integrates with Bright Cluster Manager that supports popular HPC workload schedulers such as SLURM, PBS Pro & OpenPBS, LSF, Altair Grid Engine, Kubernetes.
For infrastructure integration it supports Bright Cluster Manager VMware vSphere integration and Supermicro SuperCloud Composer.
What solution does GigaIO™ offer?
Through an all-new architecture, GigaIO™ offers a hyper-performance network that enables a unified, software-driven composable infrastructure.
In other words, GigaIO™ allows CPU, GPU Accelerator, and NVMe drives that are installed in any server or in an external chassis to be shared among multiple servers. As a result, you no longer have to detach drives from the initial physical server to be reinstalled in another server.
 Namely, GigaIO™ FabreX enables you to connect 32 GPUs with only 1 server. Not only does this reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), the infrastructure management is simpler too. Additionally, the low latency interconnection also provides superior performance.
What do we mean by reducing TCO?
By implementing GigaIO solution, you can:
1.      Spend less to get the same performance and capacity as compared to other solutions.
2.      Get ROI (Return on Investment) faster because it allows the customer to do exactly the same things but with lower cost. The GigaIO solution enables you to achieve ROI in half the standard time.
3.      Do more things with GigaIO, for example, GigaIO supports orchestration of ANY Compute, Acceleration (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs), Storage, Memory (3D-XPoint) or Networking resource for any workload using an Enterprise-Class, Easy-To-Use and Open Standards high-performance network.
How does it work?
FabreX is the only fabric which enables complete disaggregation and composition of all the resources in your server rack. Besides composing resources to servers, FabreX can also compose your servers over PCIe (and CXL in the future), without the cost, complexity and latency hit from having to switch to Ethernet or InfiniBand within the rack.
With any workload that needs more than one server and more resources (storage, GPUs, FPGAs, etc.), FabreX is exactly what you need. Typical workloads centre around the use of GPU and FPGA accelerators, including AI/ML/DL, visualisation, High Performance Computing and Data Analytics.
For more use cases visit our solutions page.
In Robust HPC, we use GigaIO’s FabreX universal dynamic fabric to enable true rack-scale computing, breaking the limits of the server box to enable the entire rack the unit of compute.
 Resources such as GPU, FGPAs, ASICs and NVMe are connected via low latency FabreX switches (less than 110ns with non-blocking ports) and can be configured in various ways depending on your needs.
Long story short, you get the flexibility and agility of the cloud, but with the security and cost control of your own on-prem infrastructure.
Get in touch with Robust HPC – an authorised reseller of GigaIO in Southeast Asia, to know more about how organisations use GigaIO and find the right use case to address your computing needs.
