French Arm chipmaker teams up with AMD
 

Joint project for exascale supercomputers

French ARM company that designs Arm-based processors for supercomputers has teamed up with AMD to build exascale supercomputers.

SiPearl will provide its Rhea processors, while AMD will offer its Instinct compute GPUs. The deal will also seem them create software that will be compatible with Arm-based Rhea processors and assess the interoperability of AMD's ROCm open software with the SiPearl Rhea CPU.

AMD's ROCm is an open platform close-to-metal software stack for GPUs. SiPearl wants to use the same code to program its CPUs.

SiPearl's Rhea system-on-chip (SoC) for high-performance computing (HPC) applications has 72 Arm Neoverse Zeus cores, interconnected using a mesh network.
