Oracle taps AMD accelerators to power demanding AI workloads

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) has selected AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators (NASDAQ:AMD) with ROCm open software to power its newest OCI Compute Supercluster instance.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Supercluster is a cloud computing cluster that provides high-performance AI infrastructure for training, tuning, and deploying generative AI models.

The newest OCI Supercluster with AMD MI300X accelerators supports up to 16,384 GPUs in a single cluster by leveraging the same ultrafast network fabric technology used by other accelerators on OCI.

Designed to run demanding AI workloads including large language model inference and training that requires high throughput with leading memory capacity and bandwidth, these OCI bare metal instances have already been adopted by companies including Fireworks AI.
