About the AI & HPC Cluster

Managed by the AMD University Program, the AMD AI & HPC Cluster provides academic researchers and educators advanced computing capabilities through compute nodes with dual AMD EPYC™ processors + AMD Instinct™ accelerators, connected with GPU-aware interconnects.

Node-hour based allocations are awarded quarterly to proposal submissions supporting innovative, impactful, open-source AI and HPC research or educational initiatives.

Successful proposals receive cluster access for up to one year, benefiting both AMD and the academic community.

Technology We Offer

The leading-edge performance of our AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct GPUs will enable researchers and scientists to address the growing demand for compute-accelerated workloads, while reducing the time to insights and discovery.
