Azure HPC

Here at ISC 2021, we continue to share and illustrate how we're building Azure HPC into the powerful and versatile cloud platform that can rival on-premise HPC centers. Helping make that happen are the latest AMD 3rd Gen EPYC(TM) processors now available as the Azure HBv3 VMs, as well as commercially launching the new Xilinx FPGA-powered NP-series VMs, giving HPC engineers much more customized control over their virtual assets and resource allocations. And, listed last here but in no way to be considered the least significant, the new ND A100 V4 virtual machines featuring NVIDIA's powerful A100 GPU will be released to general availability any week now. This introduces a whole new degree of versatility by which GPUs can be utilized in a cloud environment, and be much more cost-adaptive to HPC engineers' workflows. We're also thrilled to amplify our announcement from earlier this year that Azure Quantum, the world’s first full-stack, public cloud ecosystem for quantum solutions, is now open for business. Developers, researchers, systems integrators, and customers can use it to learn and build solutions based on the latest innovations—using familiar tools in the most trusted public cloud. This is the cloud that delivers the kind of power, scale, and versatility HPC engineers expect and demand for their work. This is Azure HPC.
