AMD
35 storiesAMD is a semiconductor company that designs CPUs and GPUs, including EPYC server processors, Instinct accelerators and the ROCm software stack. Recent coverage centered on its full-stack platform for agentic AI, plus hands-on use of EPYC and Radeon R9700 hardware in local inference, such as AnythingLLM adopting AMD's Lemonade SDK and an $18K four-GPU R9700 build. AMD expects the server CPU market to exceed $120 billion by 2030.
Accurate models of AMD matrix cores
A paper by Faizan A Khattak and coauthors models numerical behavior of AMD matrix multipliers across CDNA1/2/3 (MI100, MI210/250, MI300A/MI300X), developing MATLAB models validated with a randomized test suite of 10 million input sets for bit-level reproducibility.
Run CUDA apps on AMD GPUs in Windows with ZLUDA
A reproducible setup using ZLUDA + ROCm/HIP lets CUDA-targeted Windows applications run on AMD GPUs (validated on Radeon RX 9060 XT). The repo tested official ZLUDA preview and HIP/rocBLAS stacks, validated several CUDA libraries and a 2.2M-parameter PPO workload, but warns CUDA coverage is workload-dependent.
