HPE ProLiant and HPE Apollo Gen10 Plus servers with AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors and 3D V-Cache are designed to help you run more complex simulations and complete more jobs per day without changing your application software. The key is cache and core design: - Up to **768 MiB of L3 cache per socket** (3x more than standard EPYC 7003 CPUs with 256 MiB) - Up to **96 MiB of L3 cache per core** is accessible, keeping more data close to the CPU - Up to **64 cores per socket** for dense, high-throughput computing - **128 PCIe 4.0 lanes** for high I/O bandwidth This architecture is particularly useful for memory- and cache-sensitive workloads such as: - **Electronic Design Automation (EDA)** - **Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)** - **Finite Element Analysis (FEA)** In internal and HPE benchmark testing, upgrading to AMD EPYC 7003 with 3D V-Cache delivered performance uplifts of up to: - **66%** on EDA RTL simulation - **38%** on CFD (Ansys CFX) - **7%** on implicit FEA (Abaqus Standard) - **33%** on explicit FEA (Abaqus Explicit) Because the solution uses the same shared memory architecture as the rest of the 3rd Gen EPYC family and is socket-compatible with existing EPYC 7003 platforms (with a BIOS update where needed), you can reimagine your technical compute environment by simply upgrading processors in your existing HPE Gen10 Plus servers rather than redesigning your entire stack.

You do not need to change or recompile your applications to benefit from AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors with 3D V-Cache on HPE Gen10 Plus servers. The performance uplift is designed to be **“out of the box”**: - You **simply upgrade the processors** in supported HPE Gen10 Plus platforms (for example, HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus v2, DL365 Gen10 Plus, DL385 Gen10 Plus v2, or HPE Apollo 2000 and 6500 Gen10 Plus systems). - The processors are **socket-compatible** with existing EPYC 7003 platforms; in many cases, you only need a **BIOS update** to enable support. - Your existing EDA, CFD, and FEA software stacks continue to run as before, but they can take advantage of the **larger L3 cache** and **higher memory locality**. In practice, this means you can: - Support **more complex models and simulations** without re-architecting your software - **Increase job throughput** on the same server footprint - Improve **per-core performance**, which can be important for per-core licensed applications HPE recommends updating to the latest BIOS when you update processors to ensure you get the full benefit of the new capabilities and the latest stability and security enhancements.

HPE Gen10 Plus servers with AMD EPYC processors are designed to help you protect data, detect threats, and recover quickly if something goes wrong. Several layers of security are built into the platform: 1. **HPE Silicon Root of Trust** - Creates an **immutable fingerprint** in hardware. - Verifies that the system firmware is valid and has not been tampered with before the server boots. 2. **Secure Boot** - Ensures that drivers and components loaded during boot are **digitally signed**. - Validates them against trusted certificates stored securely in the BIOS. 3. **AMD Secure Processor** - A dedicated security processor embedded in the AMD EPYC system-on-a-chip. - Manages secure boot and ties into HPE Silicon Root of Trust at the firmware level. - Helps validate the HPE BIOS during the boot process. 4. **Secure Supply Chain** - HPE vets component vendors and sources from **Trade Agreements Act (TAA) designated countries**. - Reduces risk of compromised components entering your environment. 5. **Ongoing Firmware Integrity Checks** - Exclusive HPE technology performs **daily checks** of essential firmware. - Helps detect if malware or unauthorized changes have been introduced. 6. **Automated Firmware Recovery** - If a firmware breach is detected, the server can **automatically recover** to a previously known good firmware state. For technical compute environments running EDA, CFD, and FEA workloads—often with valuable IP and sensitive design data—these capabilities help you rethink how you secure your infrastructure, from silicon and firmware through to the operating system and applications.
