AMD Instinct is AMD's line of data centre GPUs for AI training, inference and supercomputing, programmed with AMD's open ROCm software.
In plain words
They are built on AMD's CDNA architecture and programmed with ROCm, AMD's open software stack for GPU computing, which works with AI frameworks like PyTorch. AMD also offers Helios, a full rack system that combines Instinct GPUs with its EPYC server CPUs, networking and ROCm software.
A quick example
Imagine a cloud provider offering servers with AMD Instinct GPUs. A team fine-tuning a model uses PyTorch built for ROCm, so their training code runs on the AMD GPUs with few changes.
