Paris, France and Hamburg, Germany – May 13, 2024 – Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing, today introduces the “BullSequana AI 600.” This new addition to the BullSequana AI product family, is launched in collaboration with AMD. The BullSequana AI 600 caters to businesses in need of 8-GPU servers to help developers, data scientists, and researchers achieve breakthroughs in terms of innovation and computation, with a special emphasis on models equipped with AMD Instinct™, the MI300X accelerator platform. It offers outstanding compute capabilities and a balance between cost and performance, ensuring that customers get the most value for their investment.
To assist enterprises and research in achieving their objectives with greater energy efficiency, the BullSequana AI 600 product family offers a comprehensive suite of AI systems. These servers are available in an air-cooled version (AI600) or can be equipped with Eviden’s Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology for peak efficiency (AI600H). Eviden’s AI architecture, designed to cool both CPU and GPU boards, enables up to 80% heat retention through DLC. The DLC solution maintains density within the data center, leading to substantial cost savings for businesses and facilitating scalability.
A Strategic Alliance for Unmatched Performance-to-Cost Excellence
The BullSequana AI 600 utilizes AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators and the ROCm™ software suite which provides a robust and proven ecosystem for AI development, emphasizing openness, performance, and flexibility. Each BullSequana AI 600 is equipped with two 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors and 8 AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators interconnected via an Infinity Fabric™ network, with each MI300X GPU providing 304 compute cores, 5.22 PFLOPS of theoretical peak performance (FP8), 2.61 theoretical peak performance PFLOPS (FP16) and 192 GB of HBM3 memory with 5.3 TB/s peak bandwidth.
Bruno Lecointe, Group VP Business HPC AI & Quantum, Eviden, Atos Group, said, “The collaboration between Eviden and AMD is a powerful technology partnership, yielding an exceptional performance-to-cost ratio.
