Azure HBv5-series VM is now generally availalbe in the Azure South Central US region. HBv5 VMs are optimized for memory bandwidth-intensive HPC applications, such as computational fluid dynamics, automotive and aerospace simulations, weather modeling, energy research, molecular dynamics, computer aided engineering, and more. HBv5 VMs feature 6.7 TB/s of memory bandwidth across 450 GB (438 GiB) of memory (HBM) capacity. Also included are 368 4th Generation EPYC™ processor cores with a 3.5 GHz base frequency, 4 GHz boost frequency, and no simultaneous multithreading. HBv5-series VMs also provide 800 Gb/s of InfiniBand from NVIDIA Networking to enable supercomputer-scale MPI workloads, and 15 TiB of local NVMe SSD storage with up to 50 GB/s (reads) and 30 GB/s (writes) of block device performance.
