AMD and Imperial to collaborate on AI-enabled science

Bringing together AMD expertise in accelerated computing and open software with Imperial’s expertise in science, engineering, and healthcare research and innovation, the organisations will explore new approaches to tackling some of the  most complex scientific problems.

The collaboration is expected to support advanced computational research across fields including engineering design, multiphysics simulation, materials discovery, climate and earth system modeling, neuroscience and brain imaging, epidemiology, biosecurity, genomics and computational biology. AMD and Imperial also intend to explore opportunities to optimize AI models, scientific workflows and data-intensive applications on AMD compute platforms and AMD ROCm open software.

“AI and accelerated computing are transforming how researchers solve complex problems and turn discoveries into real-world impact,” said AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su (pictured ) “by combining AMD leadership AI and HPC platforms with Imperial’s globally recognized research and innovation ecosystem, we aim to help to help researchers tackle larger challenges, develop next-generation AI talent and advance open, interoperable sovereign AI infrastructure in the U.K.”

Beyond research, AMD and Imperial plan to work together on education, workforce development and science-based innovation initiatives spanning AI, HPC, accelerated computing, semiconductor technologies and engineering. The parties will explore opportunities to provide students, researchers, startups and innovators with access to computing resources, software environments and technical expertise through workshops, seminars, internships, pilot programs and industry engagements.

These activities will take place across Imperial’s WestTech London innovation ecosystem, which encompasses its campuses at South Kensington, Paddington Life Sciences, the White City Innovation District and Old Oak Innovation Cluster.
