AMD launches hardware-virtualized GPU

AMD FirePro S7100X sm_CPAMD became the first vendor to offer hardware virtualized GPU with the launch of AMD Multiuser GPU (MxGPU) for blade servers, AMD FirePro S7100X GPU.

AMD MxGPU is the industry’s first and only hardware-virtualized GPU compliant with the SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) PCIe virtualization standard. Using AMD Multiuser GPU (MxGPU) technology, the AMD FirePro S7100X GPU harnesses silicon expressly designed for graphics virtualization and conforming with the virtualization industry standard.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is the first to offer the AMD FirePro S7100X GPU in HPE ProLiant WS460c Gen9 Graphics Server Blades. New graphics virtualization solution provides workstation-class experience. AMD MxGPU harnesses an entirely new class of GPU architecture designed with virtualization capabilities built into the silicon.

Ogi Brkic, senior director, product management, Radeon Technologies Group at AMD said, “The pairing of HPE ProLiant WS460c Gen9 Graphics Server Blades and AMD FirePro S7100X GPUs is exactly what customers have been asking for as they look to address their virtualization challenges.”

Paul Miller, VP of Marketing for Converged Data Center Infrastructure at HPE said, “The new AMD FirePro S7100X GPU for the HPE ProLiant WS460c Gen9 Graphics Server Blade enables our customers with powerful graphics performance and virtualization capabilities for business power users and designers. This new solution helps improve end-user experience, deliver graphics-accelerated VDI and drive high performance access to applications they use daily on virtually any device, from anywhere on the network.”
