Access to ACP (AMD Accelerator Cloud)

Hi,

I have a simple question: how is one supposed to access https://acp.amd.com

I work in a research institute and we used to monitor the evolution of ROCm for our use. We haven't been able to do so since mi50 came out because they are only available through OEM and AMD provides no contact information. Now If I understand correctly ACP is supposed to fix that, but there is no form to request access so... any hint on what to do?

Have you tried the AIER form, or does your institution not qualify?

"Take a Test Drive in the AMD Accelerator Cloud" at https://community.amd.com/t5/instinct-accelerators/take-a-test-drive-in-the-amd-accelerator-cloud/ba...

has a link "Get Started and Request Access on the AAC Today" to http://amd.com/AAC

which now forwards to the main instinct server accelerators page.  That accelerators page,

"AMD Instinct™ MI Series Accelerators" at https://www.amd.com/en/graphics/instinct-server-accelerators

contains a link "The Computational Science Revolution Starts Here ... Learn More" to

"AMD Instinct™ Education & Research 2.0 (AIER 2.0) Initiative" at https://www.amd.com/en/graphics/servers-solutions-aier

For me, that AIER page has "join the initiative" which links to the "AIER Participation Information Form" that collects information to check whether your institution qualifies.

The acp site has a different form, but I don't know whether it is sufficient.

(Just a thought: If the queue to get access to AMD's cloud is too long, an alternative might be to check whether the queue is any shorter at a cloud provider or reseller that offers the specific instinct accelerator that you want to try.)

(I am just browsing here and do not represent AMD nor cloud providers nor resellers.)

Thank you very much, I did not find that link buried in the website. Let's hope the software engineers at amd work better than their marketing teams.

The waiting time won't be an issue, this is mostly for testing and benchmarking to ponder the possibility of buying amd GPUs for a cluster.
