Scaleway将在瑞典建AMD芯片AI超级计算机 系其法国外首台
据路透社10月13日报道，法国云计算公司 Scaleway 将在瑞典建设一台人工智能超级计算机，这是该公司在法国以外的第一台超级计算机，将采用 AMD 的芯片。Scaleway 在巴黎举行的年度 AI 会议上宣布了这一消息。
Scaleway 表示，这台机器将是欧洲第一台商用 AMD 芯片 AI 超级计算机，面向全欧洲的初创企业、AI 公司与各类企业开放。系统将采用 AMD Instinct MI355X——AMD 对标英伟达 Blackwell 产品线的芯片。AMD 欧洲、中东和非洲区高级副总裁斯蒂芬妮·迪斯莫尔（Stephanie Dismore）表示，Scaleway 通过 AMD Instinct GPU 与开放的 ROCm 软件生态，正在扩大欧洲客户在 AI 基础设施上的选择。
Scaleway 表示，选择瑞典是因为其电力以低碳为主且拥有 AI 产业基础。该公司今年5月进入瑞典市场，与电信运营商 Tele2 签署协议在当地销售其云与 AI 服务。Tele2 企业业务负责人斯特凡·特兰普斯（Stefan Trampus）称，这台超级计算机向外界发出了瑞典对 AI 基础设施具吸引力的"明确信号"。超级计算机制造商 Bull 表示，与 Scaleway 的合同是其战略方向的积极一步，并将增强欧洲的AI 能力。
Scaleway to Build AMD-Powered AI Supercomputer in Sweden, Its First Outside France
French cloud company Scaleway will build an artificial intelligence supercomputer in Sweden, its first outside France, running on chips from AMD, Reuters reported on October 13. Scaleway announced the plan on Tuesday during its annual AI conference in Paris.
Scaleway said the machine would be the first AMD-based AI supercomputer for commercial use in Europe, open to startups, AI companies and businesses across the continent. The system will run on AMD Instinct MI355X, the chipmaker's answer to Nvidia's Blackwell line. Stephanie Dismore, AMD's senior vice president for EMEA, said Scaleway is expanding the choice of AI infrastructure available to customers across Europe through AMD Instinct GPUs and the open ROCm software ecosystem.
Scaleway said it picked Sweden due to its largely low-carbon electricity and its AI sector. The company entered the Swedish market in May, signing a deal with telecom operator Tele2 to sell its cloud and AI services there. Tele2's business-to-business head Stefan Trampus said the supercomputer "sends a clear signal" on Sweden's attractiveness for AI infrastructure. Supercomputer builder Bull told Reuters the contract was a positive step in its strategic direction and would enhance Europe's AI capabilities.
