Azure HBv3 VMs for HPC now generally available with AMD EPYC CPUs with AMD 3D V-Cache 

Azure HBv3 virtual machines (VMs) are now upgraded to and generally available with AMD EPYC 3rd Gen processors with 3D V-Cache, formerly codenamed “Milan-X”, in the Azure East US, South Central, and West Europe regions. The new processors significantly improve the performance, scaling efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of a variety of memory performance-bound workloads such as CFD, explicit finite element analysis, computational geoscience, weather simulation, and silicon design right-to-left (RTL) workflows.

Azure HBv3 virtual machines for HPC, now up to 80 percent faster with AMD Milan-X CPUs 

We are announcing that a private preview is now live for Azure HBv3 virtual machines enhanced by AMD EPYC 3rd Gen processors with 3D v-cache, codenamed “Milan-X”. These processors significantly improve the performance, scaling efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of a variety of memory performance-bound workloads such as CFD, explicit finite element analysis, computational geoscience, weather simulation, and silicon design RTL workflows.

Supercomputing 2020—New MPI heights, joining the Graph500, and 1 TB/s filesystems 

It was this time a year ago during SC’19 when Azure unveiled the HBv2 clusters of Virtual Machines (VM) for high performance computing (HPC). At the time, we characterized this uniquely powerful and scalable VM as “rivaling the most advanced supercomputers on the planet.”

HB-series Azure Virtual Machines achieve cloud supercomputing milestone 

New HPC-targeted cloud virtual machines are first to scale to 10,000 cores. Azure Virtual Machine HB-series are the first on the public cloud to scale a MPI-based high performance computing (HPC) job to 10,000 cores. This level of scaling has long been considered the realm of only the world’s most powerful and exclusive supercomputers, but now is available to anyone using Azure.
