AMD announces joining the new PyTorch Foundation as a founding member

CTOnews.com Sept. 16, according to AMD official news, AMD has now joined the newly established PyTorch Foundation and become a founding member. The foundation will be part of the non-profit Linux Foundation and will promote and maintain an open source project ecosystem to promote the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools through PyTorch, a machine learning (ML) software framework originally created and supported by Meta.

AMD said that as a founding member, AMD, together with other companies in the industry, gives priority to promoting the continued growth of PyTorch's active community. Supported by innovative technologies such as the AMD ROCm open software platform, AMD Instinct Accelerator, Adaptive SoC, and CPU, AMD will help the PyTorch Foundation by popularizing state-of-the-art tools, libraries, and other components and making these ML innovations accessible to all.

Brad Mccredie, Vice President of data Center and accelerated processing at AMD, said, "Open software is critical to driving HPC, AI and ML research, and we are ready to bring our extensive experience in open software platforms and innovation to the PyTorch Foundation. From billions of secondary supercomputers in research labs to major cloud deployments that showcase HPC and AI / ML, AMD Instinct accelerators and ROCm software platforms are powering HPC and ML sites around the world. Together with other members of the Foundation, we will support and accelerate science and research that can have a huge impact on the world. "
