Helios: The Beast is Coming

I want one for my garage lab.

I want a garage big enough to hold one.

Helios will include 18 compute trays, each housing 4 MI455X accelerators and a single Venice CPU, giving the complete system a total of 72 GPUs and 18 CPUs – or breaking that down into core counts, about 18,000 compute units and 4,608 CPU cores. All told, the monster rack is slated to offer 2.9 EFLOPS of FP4 compute performance for AI workloads. As well, all of the racks are equipped with networking gear from AMD’s Pensando division, providing the critical scale-out capabilities that make Helios such an important product for AMD.

As with the rest of AMD’s data center product stack, Helios is slated to be released later this year.
