Scale AI with Sovereignty, Control, and Choice

abstract background

As enterprises and governments operationalize AI, they must prove control across data, infrastructure, and AI to meet regulations and maintain resilience. Join IBM and AMD to explore how digital sovereignty is evolving through operational control, continuous compliance, and governed AI execution. Learn how IBM Sovereign Core, combined with AMD EPYC CPUs, Instinct GPUs, and confidential computing, enables secure sovereign AI and agentic workloads across hybrid environments.

  • 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.
