In a world where efficiency is king, businesses are constantly looking for ways to improve their infrastructure performance. One way in which this is possible is through the usage of DPUs.
DPUs, or data-processing units, are specialised processors designed to efficiently handle data-centric workloads - typically designed as a SoC (system-on-a-chip) solution. This focus allows for other processors such as the CPU to be utilised where they are more efficient.
AMD offer an industry leading solution in the form of the Pensando Infrastructure Accelerators, a new generation of products that are designed to meet the needs of today's most demanding workloads. “Optimized to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage, and security services at cloud scale – with minimal latency, jitter, and power requirements.”
AMD Pensando Infrastructure Accelerators are at least a generation ahead of the competition in terms of performance and efficiency. They are built on a new architecture that is designed to deliver the highest possible performance for a wide range of workloads, including:
• High-performance computing (HPC)
• Artificial intelligence (AI)
• Machine learning (ML)
• Data analytics
• Networking
AMD even offer a Software-in-Silicon Development Kit (SSDK) for customers to develop and utilise the extensive feature-set present on the Pensando platform, implementing custom features within their infrastructure. Some of the companies that are already using AMD Pensando Infrastructure Accelerators include Goldman Sachs, Microsoft Azure, NetApp, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. These companies are using Pensando accelerators to power a wide range of mission-critical workloads.
“AMD Pensando’s full stack solution, complete with a P4 programmable processor and hyper scale software, has enabled Microsoft Azure to rapidly augment its networking and security services improving performance, latency, and scale. We have seen a 40x improvement in overall cloud based connection related performance. AMD Pensando delivered this in less than 12 months. This partnership has enabled a transformational “limitless networking” shift that will ensure our customers have access to the highest performing products and services they expect from Microsoft Azure.”
Girish Bablani, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Azure
