Nvidia includes new checkboard rendering MultiGPU mode in recent drivers Posted: 19 Nov 2019 12:13 AM PST EDIT: checkerboard** typo in title. Though I no longer run SLI due to bandwidth limitations inside a virtual machine, I still loosely follow multiGPU news and saw this today: Apparently starting with branch r435 Nvidia has implemented an experimental CFR SLI rendering mode, replacing the dead SFR mode that never really amounted to anything. The reporting user states that the new mode can be used in any games with DX10+ renderer, including DX12. He goes on to list several games tested that never before had DX12 mGPU support, including The Division 2 and posts a video of Metro Exodus with RTGI in 4K running on 2x2080Ti. States also that performance is not as good as the maximum possible benefit attainable by AFR, estimates 30-60% performance uplift. However also claims a measurable latency advantage compared to AFR, which makes sense given how it would appear to work. Other users tested with classical SLI and found no performance uplift, so this is likely to be forever NVLink-exclusive. Unfortunately I don't have a second 2080Ti to do testing with this, but I'm interested in community opinion. Nvidia seems to think multiGPU isn't dead yet, but I was wondering if this tech could also be useful for a future MCM architecture. [link] [comments] |

AMD Delivers Best-in-Class Performance from Supercomputers to HPC in the Cloud at SC19 Posted: 18 Nov 2019 11:31 AM PST AMD Delivers Best-in-Class Performance from Supercomputers to HPC in the Cloud at SC19
DENVER, Nov. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At SC19, the premier annual event for supercomputing, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) is extending its performance lead in high-performance computing (HPC) with a range of new customer wins in top research systems worldwide, new platforms supporting AMD EPYC™ processors and Radeon Instinct™ accelerators and the newly announced ROCm 3.0, bringing support for new compilers and HPC applications. "AMD enters SC19 as the processor provider for the upcoming Frontier supercomputer, expected to be the highest performance supercomputer in the world when it is delivered in 2021," said Mark Papermaster, executive vice president and chief technology officer, AMD. "Show attendees can spend time with the same foundational AMD technologies that will go into that exascale-class system this week. From high performance AMD EPYC CPUs and Radeon Instinct GPUs working together across high-speed interconnects, to our open software ecosystem, all delivered by the biggest names in supercomputing, it's all here at SC19." At SC19, Papermaster will be on a panel along with CTOs from Cray, CERN and Xilinx to discuss the unique innovations in exascale systems and beyond, including new technical breakthroughs across hardware, software and programming tools. New Amazon EC2 Compute-Optimized Instances to Use 2nd Gen AMD EPYC AMD Powers Supercomputers to New Levels and EPYC Joins TOP500 The latest customers deploying AMD processors and accelerators include:
"We chose the AMD EPYC 7742 because the processor not only provided broad support for most common software applications our researchers use, but it provides the raw performance, impressive memory and I/O bandwidth and most importantly the price/performance that is critical to meeting the demands of these researchers," said Christian Bolliger, scientific IT services, ETH Zurich. "With the Euler VI system using 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors, our users now have access to a system that will provide them the capabilities needed to advance their research." Bringing Supercomputing to the Cloud with AMD EPYC Microsoft Azure announced previously unobtainable levels of performance for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using an Azure HB cloud instance running on an 1st Gen AMD EPYC-processor based system. Now, Azure is pushing the boundaries of HPC in the cloud even further with the preview of Azure HBv2 virtual machines for high-performance computing. Based on the AMD EPYC 7742 processor, these virtual machines provide customers with access to supercomputer performance, supporting 200Gbps HDR InfiniBand, and up to 80,000 cores for a single job, in the ease and simplicity through the Cloud. AMD Introduces ROCm 3.0
A Growing Hardware Ecosystem
With the introduction of PCIe 4.0 support in the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors and Radeon Instinct GPU accelerators, AMD has led the enablement of the PCIe 4.0 ecosystem by working closely with key industry partners. The 2nd Gen EPYC supports PCIe 4.0 enabled devices such as high speed ethernet and InfiniBand® interconnects, NICs and switches, compute accelerators (GPUs and FPGAs) and storage (NVME SSD) devices. Some of the partners offering PCIe 4.0 products for 2nd Gen EPYC include:
