  • ElMerFold: Exascale AI for Protein Structure Prediction with El Capitan

    DProtein structure prediction is foundational to modern biology, enabling breakthroughs in drug discovery, enzyme engineering, and AI-driven science. We present ElMerFold, a production-scale synthetic data generation workflow running on the El Capitan system at 11,000 nodes and 44,000 APUs. ElMerFold processes ~41 million proteins at 2,378 structures/s, achieving a 16.3× improvement over prior approaches and reaching 969 PFLOP/s FP32 inference performance.;DProtein structure prediction is foundational to modern biology, enabling breakthroughs in drug discovery, enzyme engineering, and AI-driven science.

  • Build an MRI Analysis Agent with AMD Blueprints

    Build and deploy an AI-powered MRI analysis agent in minutes using the AMD mri-doc Solution Blueprint. Run a Gradio-based pipeline that accepts DICOM, NIfTI, and standard image formats, applies tissue segmentation and anomaly detection, and generates LLM-drafted clinical reports on AMD Instinct GPUs. Then customize: swap the LLM AIM, reuse an existing model endpoint, or extend the pipeline for your specific clinical workflow.;Build and deploy an AI-powered MRI analysis agent in minutes using the AMD mri-doc Solution Blueprint.

  • Creating CPU Inference and Agentic Performance Transparency

    Your finance team doesn't care about tokens per second. They care about predictable costs, compliance risk, and vendor lock-in. With agentic AI, the metrics for tracking success are even more complex. But benchmarks don't answer the question that actually matters: Should you undertake this effort and is it viable for your business? In this interactive technical discussion, we’ll break down the tradeoffs, work through the math, and pressure-test the strategy together.;Your finance team doesn't care about tokens per second.
