AMD, HPE expand collaboration to advance open rack-scale AI infrastructure

AMD (AMD) announced an expanded collaboration with HPE (HPE) to “accelerate the next generation of open, scalable AI infrastructure built on AMD leadership compute technologies,” the company said. HPE will become one of the first system providers to adopt the AMD “Helios” rack-scale AI architecture, which will integrate a purpose-built HPE Juniper Networking scale-up switch – in collaboration with Broadcom (AVGO) – and software for seamless, high-bandwidth connectivity over Ethernet. “HPE has been an exceptional long-term partner to AMD, working with us to redefine what is possible in high-performance computing,” said Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO, AMD. “With ‘Helios’, we’re taking that collaboration further, bringing together the full stack of AMD compute technologies and HPE’s system innovation to deliver an open, rack-scale AI platform that drives new levels of efficiency, scalability, and breakthrough performance for our customers in the AI era.”
