Samsung Connects 96 PIM-Modified AMD MI100 GPUs



Samsung has built the world’s first large scale computing system using GPUs with built in processing-in-memory (PIM) chips. These memory modules, which were loaded onto 96 AMD Instinct MI100 GPUs, increased AI training performance by 2.5x, according to a report by Business Korea.

Samsung originally demonstrated the PIM-modified GPUs in October, but only recently combined 96 PIM-modified GPUs in a cluster. Compared to normal video memory, these modified MI100 chips not only performed 2.5x better, they also cut power consumption by 2.67x, drastically increasing the GPUs’ efficiency at running AI algorithms.
