The machine will be powered by AMD Instinct MI355X accelerators, the company's response to the Nvidia Blackwell line.The supercomputer will be the company's first outside of France and the first AMD-based AI supercomputer in Europe ready for commercial usage, Scaleway claimed.That's because AMD is still striving to transform good processor specs into widespread usage.Nvidia is the AI supercomputer of choice, but AMD has an opportunity in Europe, where clients want more infrastructural options and less dependency on a single vendor.That discussion includes software.AMD's ROCm platform is open source and integrates with popular AI tools, but Nvidia's CUDA environment is proprietary and more closely coupled to Nvidia hardware.Scaleway said the low-carbon energy supply in Sweden and its burgeoning AI industry were the reasons for its choice. Bull will build and manage the system, with HPE providing networking and other partners offering storage and cooling.Next, the pace at which Scaleway can get the system up and running, and if the initiative will spur further commercial use of AMD's Instinct platform across Europe, will be the trigger.
