AMD and CEA join forces to advance AI computing

AMD partners with France’s CEA to develop next-generation AI computing architectures, focusing on energy-efficient systems and international collaboration.

AMD has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with France’s Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) to collaborate on the next generation of AI computing architectures. This partnership aims to drive advancements in energy-efficient computing systems, catering to the most demanding AI workloads across various industries, including energy and medicine.

By leveraging the strengths of both organisations, AMD and CEA plan to explore cutting-edge technologies that push the limits of AI computing. Their collaboration will focus on developing new components and system architectures that enhance performance while improving energy efficiency. The initiative will help address the increasing computational demands required for AI-driven research and innovation.

Structured collaboration and AI symposium in 2025

As part of the agreement, AMD and CEA will engage in a structured research initiative to advance AI compute infrastructure. This effort aims to accelerate progress in AI computing by fostering collaboration between industry leaders, research institutions, and government agencies.

In addition, the two organisations are planning to host a symposium in 2025 that will bring together key stakeholders from Europe and around the world. The event will include technology providers, startups, supercomputing centres, universities, and policymakers, fostering discussions on the future of AI computing. The goal is to encourage international partnerships and accelerate the development of state-of-the-art AI technologies.

Driving innovation in AI computing

AMD and CEA believe that international cooperation is essential in shaping the future of AI computing. Ralph Wittig, Corporate Fellow and Head of Research at AMD, said, “AI computing continues to drive innovation across industries, and international collaboration is critical to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Through this collaboration with CEA and leading French engineers, we aim to bring cutting-edge AI research closer to real-world applications by advancing system architectures that meet the demands of tomorrow’s AI workloads, while growing the joint research and development opportunities between the U.S. and France.”

Julie Galland, Director of the Technological Research Division at CEA, said, “CEA is committed to driving innovation in AI computing by advancing next-generation technologies opening the road for disruptive architectures that balance performance and energy efficiency. Our collaboration with AMD represents a significant step toward fostering international cooperation in high-performance computing, bringing together world-class expertise to address the growing demands of AI workloads. By combining CEA’s research leadership with AMD’s cutting-edge technology, we aim to develop breakthrough solutions that will shape the future of AI computing in Europe and beyond.”

This collaboration underlines AMD’s commitment to global research partnerships that drive AI innovation while ensuring inclusivity and sustainability. By working together, AMD and CEA aim to strengthen ties between the U.S. and European research institutions, advancing the future of AI computing through collective expertise and innovation.
