With gaming on the rise in Europe, games aren’t just keeping players occupied in lockdown - they’re keeping engineers and developers busy creating these worlds right from their homes. However, productivity is at stake when the pandemic has forced them to work remotely. Because of the limitations of the computer hardware used in homes, teams are often left with less time to create and test new features. 

AMD has announced it’s working with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to provide GPUs which can help investigate astrophysics and galaxy formations. ORNL is preparing eight key scientific applications for Frontier, and one of them is CHOLLA, which investigates astrophysics and galaxy formations, one of the first workloads in its class to run on GPUs.
