Results may vary. RZ3-75 7 Though both are often measured in watts, it is important to distinguish between thermal and electrical watts. Thermal wattage for processors is conveyed via thermal design power (TDP). TDP is a calculated value that conveys an appropriate thermal solution to achieve the intended operation of a processor. Electrical watts are not a variable in the TDP calculation. By design, electrical watts can vary from workload to workload and may exceed thermal watts. GD-109 8 Max boost for AMD Ryzen PRO Processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates.

Price subject to change. 10 Overclocking AMD processors, including without limitation, altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing / voltage, to operate beyond their stock specifications will void any applicable AMD product warranty, even when such overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware and/or software. This may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or retailer. Users assume all risks and liabilities that may arise out of overclocking AMD processors, including, without limitation, failure of or damage to hardware, reduced system performance and/or data loss, corruption or vulnerability.

  • Software-Based Undervolting Faults in AMD Zen Processors Fehler in AMD Zen Prozessoren Durch Software-Basierte Unterspannung
    Software-based Undervolting Faults in AMD Zen Processors Fehler in AMD Zen Prozessoren durch Software-basierte Unterspannung Bachelorarbeit im Rahmen des Studiengangs IT-Sicherheit der Universität zu Lübeck vorgelegt von Anja Rabich ausgegeben und betreut von Prof. Dr. Thomas Eisenbarth mit Unterstützung von Luca Wilke Lübeck, den 31. August 2020 Abstract Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is a powerful performance enhance- ment method used by modern processors, allowing them to scale voltage or frequency as needed based on the power requirements of the CPU. This not only saves power, but also prevents processors from overheating. However, the continued integration of soft- ware interfaces giving a user direct access to this functionality has been shown to be a potential security risk, allowing a privileged adversary to indirectly tamper with sensitive computations. This thesis summarizes the results of various papers showing that using DVFS features, unsuitable voltage/frequency values can be set for the processor leading to hardware faults and calculation errors which can be used to undermine the integrity of Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Results are partially replicated for Intel’s TEE implementation SGX, followed by extending the same methodology to AMD’s Zen Pro- cessors, on which there is currently no information. Results show that undervolting is an unlikely attack vector. iii Zusammenfassung Dynamische Spannungs- und Frequenzskalierung (engl. DVFS) ist ein in modernen Prozessoren vorhandener Leistungs- und Stromverwaltungsmechanismus, womit Span- nung und Frequenz der CPU je nach Bedarf skaliert werden können. Somit wird nicht nur Strom gespart, sondern auch zusätzlich verhindert, dass der Prozessor überhitzt. Die zunehmende Integration von Softwareschnittstellen zu diesen Mechanismen die dem Nutzer Einstellungsmöglichkeiten anbieten, haben sich zunehmend als potenzielle Sicherheitslücke erwiesen.

  • High Performance Linpack Benchmark on AMD EPYC™ Processors
    High Performance Linpack Benchmark on AMD EPYC™ Processors This document details running the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark using the AMD xhpl binary. HPL Implementation: The HPL benchmark presents an opportunity to demonstrate the optimal combination of multithreading (via the OpenMP library) and MPI for scientific and technical high-performance computing on the EPYC architecture. For MPI applications where the per-MPI-rank work can be further parallelized, each L3 cache is an MPI rank running a multi-threaded application. This approach results in fewer MPI ranks than using one rank per core, and results in a corresponding reduction in MPI overhead. The ideal balance is for the number of threads per MPI rank to be less than or equal to the number of CPUs per L3 cache. The exact maximum thread count per MPI rank depends on both the specific EPYC SKU (e.g. 32 core parts have 4 physical cores per L3, 24 core parts have 3 physical cores per L3) and whether SMT is enabled (e.g. for a 32 core part with SMT enabled there are 8 CPUs per L3). HPL performance is primarily determined by DGEMM performance, which is in turn primarily determined by SIMD throughput. The Zen microarchitecture of the EPYC processor implements one SIMD unit per physical core. Since HPL is SIMD limited, when SMT is enabled using a second HPL thread per core will not directly improve HPL performance. However, leaving SMT enabled may indirectly allow slightly higher performance (1% - 2%) since the OS can utilize the SMT siblings as needed without pre-empting the HPL threads.

In late 1995 AMD cancelled their 29K family development and transferred the related design team to the firm’s K5 effort, in order to focus on x86 processors [3]. 2) Initially, AMD designed the Am386/486 processors that were clones of Intel’s processors.

Although many PC users can settle for “good enough” performance, data-center opera- tors are always seeking more. Web searches demand more performance as the Internet continues to expand. Newer applications such as voice recognition (for services such as Alexa and Siri) and analyzing big data also require tremendous performance. Neural networks are gaining in popularity for everything from image recognition to self-driving cars, but training these networks can tie up hundreds of servers for days at a time. Processor designers must meet these greater performance demands while staying within acceptable electrical-power ratings. Server processors are often characterized by core count and clock speed (GHz), but these characteristics provide only a rough approximation of application performance. As important as speed is, the amount of work that a processor can accomplish with each tick of the clock, a parameter known as instructions per cycle (IPC), is equally important.
