The AMD EPYC team is fortunate to be able to frequently meet and collaborate with brilliant people solving really complex challenges through continuous innovation.  Our podcast series is a way we get to share some of the insights garnered with our customers and partners as they discuss the synergy of hardware and software, current and emerging customer challenges and opportunities for technology to address them and on how emerging techniques such as AI can advance data center solutions.  This blog captures such insights from a recent discussion with Ms. Fatma Kocer-Poyraz, VP of Engineering Data Science at Altair. 

Perhaps a favorite aspect of my role on the AMD EPYC team is to meet brilliant people solving really complex challenges through continuous innovation.  I recently had the pleasure to have one such discussion with Ms. Vicky Tsianika of Hexagon--a leader in digital simulation tools across many industries.  Vicky is a leader in the team responsible for the MSC NASTRAN product line of sophisticated tools for simulating effects based on real world physics principles.  She shares her thoughts on evolving market needs and the importance of hardware and software synergy.

There is no one set journey to AI enablement.  AI (and the infrastructure to run it) will take many forms. Many enterprises will follow different paths based on their specific goals, business and technical priorities and other considerations. But no matter where your enterprise is ultimately headed in the AI era, AMD EPYC processor-powered servers offer the platform to take you there as your needs evolve.

The tech industry is in a perpetual struggle to achieve equilibrium between compute, storage and networking for maximum performance. For now, storage—or, more precisely, the location of large data sets—is the problem, and chiplets, pioneered by AMD, is one solution.
