The U.S. has formed a $1 billion partnership with Advanced Micro Devices to
construct two supercomputers that will tackle large scientific problems
ranging from nuclear power to cancer treatments to national security, Energy
Secretary Chris Wright and AMD CEO Lisa Su told Reuters.
美國已與超微半導體公司(AMD)建立價值10億美元的合作夥伴關係,將建造兩台超級電
腦,用以解決從核能發電、癌症治療到國家安全等重大科學問題,能源部長克里斯· 賴特
(Chris Wright)與AMD執行長蘇姿丰(Lisa Su)向路透社表示。
The U.S. is building the two machines to ensure the country has enough
supercomputers to run increasingly complex experiments that require harnessing
enormous amounts of data-crunching capability. The machines can accelerate
the process of making scientific discoveries in areas the U.S. is focused on.
美國建造這兩台機器,是為了確保國家擁有足夠的超級電腦資源,以執行越來越複雜、需
要龐大資料處理能力的實驗。這些機器能加速美國重點領域的科學發現過程。
Energy Secretary Wright said the systems would “supercharge” advances in
nuclear power and fusion energy, technologies for defense and national
security, and the development of drugs. Scientists and companies are trying to
replicate fusion, the reaction that fuels the sun, by jamming light atoms in
a plasma gas under intense heat and pressure to release massive amounts of
energy.
能源部長賴特表示,這些系統將「強化推進」核能與核融合技術、防衛與國安技術、以及
新藥開發的進展。科學家與企業正試圖重現太陽內部的核融合反應,透過將輕原子在高溫
高壓的電漿氣體中融合,以釋放巨大能量。
“We’ve made great progress, but plasmas are unstable, and we need to
recreate the center of the sun on Earth,” Wright told Reuters.
賴特對路透社表示:「我們已經取得重大進展,但電漿仍然不穩定,而我們需要在地球上
重現太陽核心的條件。」
“We’re going to get just massively faster progress using the computation
from these AI systems that I believe will have practical pathways to harness
fusion energy in the next two or three years.”
「藉由這些AI系統的運算能力,我相信我們能在未來兩三年內,讓核融合能源實現實際應
用的道路上,取得飛速進展。」
Wright said the supercomputers would also help manage the U.S. arsenal of
nuclear weapons and accelerate drug discovery by simulating ways to treat
cancer down to the molecular level.
賴特指出,這些超級電腦還將協助美國管理核武庫,並透過模擬分子層級的反應方式,加
速癌症治療藥物的研發。
“My hope is in the next five or eight years, we will turn most cancers, many
of which today are ultimate death sentences, into manageable conditions,”
Wright said.
賴特說:「我希望在未來五到八年內,能讓大多數癌症——如今仍等同死刑的疾病——變
成可控的慢性病。」
The plans call for the first computer called Lux to be constructed and come
online within the next six months. It will be based around AMD’s MI355X
artificial intelligence chips, and the design will also include central
processors (CPUs) and networking chips made by AMD. The system is co-developed
by AMD, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL).
計畫指出,第一台名為「Lux」的超級電腦將在六個月內建成並投入運作。它將以AMD的
MI355X人工智慧晶片為核心設計,並搭配AMD製造的中央處理器(CPU)與網路晶片。該系
統由AMD、惠普企業(HPE)、甲骨文雲基礎設施(Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)及奧
克嶺國家實驗室(ORNL)共同開發。
AMD’s Su said the Lux deployment was the fastest deployment of this size of
computer that she has seen.
AMD執行長蘇姿丰表示,Lux的建置速度是她所見過同級超級電腦中最快的。
“This is the speed and agility that we wanted to [do] this for the U.S. AI
efforts,” Su said.
蘇說:「這種速度與敏捷性正是我們希望為美國AI計畫所展現的。」
ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer said the Lux supercomputer will deliver about
three times the AI capacity of current supercomputers.
ORNL主任史崔佛(Stephen Streiffer)指出,Lux超級電腦的AI運算能力將達到現有超級
電腦的三倍。
The second, more advanced computer called Discovery will be based around AMD’
s MI430 series of AI chips that are tuned for high-performance computing. This
system will be designed by ORNL, HPE and AMD. Discovery is expected to be
delivered in 2028 and be ready for operations in 2029.
第二台更先進的超級電腦名為「Discovery」,將以AMD專為高效能運算調校的MI430系列
AI晶片為核心。此系統將由ORNL、HPE與AMD共同設計,預計於2028年交付,並在2029年正
式運行。
Streiffer said he expected enormous gains but couldn’t predict how much
greater computational capability it would have.
史崔佛表示,他預期將有巨大的性能提升,但目前仍無法確定具體提升幅度。
The MI430 is a special variant of its MI400 series that combines important
features of traditional supercomputing chips along with the features to run AI
applications, Su said.
蘇姿丰表示,MI430是MI400系列的特製版本,結合了傳統超級運算晶片的重要特性,以及
能執行AI應用的功能。
The Department of Energy will host the computers, the companies will provide
the machines and capital spending, and both sides will share the computing
power, a DOE official said.
能源部官員表示,能源部將負責託管這些超級電腦,而企業則負責提供設備與資本支出,
雙方將共享運算資源。
The two supercomputers based on AMD chips are intended to be the first of many
of these types of partnerships with private industry and DOE labs across the
country, the official said.
該官員指出,這兩台基於AMD晶片的超級電腦,預計將成為未來能源部與全美各地私營企
業及實驗室之間眾多合作案的開端。
心得/評論:
DOE:
不需承擔全部的資本支出(CAPEX),
但能優先獲取全美最先進的AI算力,
且能掌握新一代超算架構的設計主導權。
AMD:
以自家技術參與國家級AI科研,提升品牌權威,
可藉由DOE的研究成果回饋晶片設計優化,
在DOE環境下訓練AI模型、做超算壓力測試,也是一種免費宣傳。
