Deploying Rack-Scale AI Infrastructure with AMD Helios

abstract background

Scale-up first. Scale-out when it matters. This session sets the foundation for how AI workloads are evaluated across the ecosystem - training, inference, agentic - and how AMD Helios is architected to support both. Learn how to match workload profiles to the right infrastructure pattern, from rack-scale density to distributed deployment at production scale.
