High Performance Computing in Azure - with Mark Russinovich
See the latest innovations in silicon design from AMD with new system-on-a-chip high bandwidth memory breakthroughs with up to 7 terabytes of memory bandwidth in a single virtual machine - and how it's possible to get more than 8x speed-ups without sacrificing compatibility from the previous generation to HBv5. These use AMD EPYC™ 9004 Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology.
And find out how Microsoft's own silicon including custom ARM-based Cobalt CPUs and Maia AI accelerators for performance and power efficiency.
Mark Russinovich, Azure CTO, Deputy CISO, Technical Fellow, and Microsoft Mechanics lead contributor, shows how with workloads spanning Databricks, Siemens, Snowflake, or Microsoft Teams, Azure provides the tools to improve efficiency and performance in your datacenter at hyperscale.
