<p>The use of AMD EPYC processors for HPC and compute focused workloads continues to expand as more cloud service providers, like Google Cloud, are using EPYC to address their customers’ most demanding and intense workloads. This goes on top of the existing capabilities of EPYC for HPC workloads, including powering 73 supercomputers on the <a href="https://top500.org/lists/top500/2021/11/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" aria-label="latest Top500 list - Opens in new window">latest Top500 list</a> and holding <a title="AMD EPYC™ Processor World Records" href="https://www.amd.com/en/processors/epyc-world-records" data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="1a1d99b8-ddfc-40be-bfd0-4e57dfc58492">70 HPC world records</a>.</p>
<p>“AMD EPYC processors continue to showcase their capabilities for HPC and compute focused workloads, whether running drug simulations for the latest vaccines, exploring the cosmos, or helping design critical hardware and electronics for the future of industry,” said Lynn Comp, corporate vice president, Cloud Business, AMD. “The Google Cloud C2D instances with AMD EPYC processors will enable Google Cloud customers to run some of their most complex and intense workloads with ease, helping them design their products or solve complex problems, faster.”</p>
<p>“Google Cloud customers want instances that support complex, performance-sensitive workloads, such as high performance computing. VMs powered by AMD EPYC processors enable the performance and features that are needed for these customers,” said Nirav Mehta, director of product management, Google Cloud. “This is now our third virtual machine family powered by 3<sup>rd</sup> Gen AMD EPYC processors, and we are excited to continue to grow our EPYC portfolio.”</p>
