Oil prices hold sharp losses with focus on secondary India tariffs
Investing.com -- Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock rose 2.8% and International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) shares gained 0.9% after the two tech giants announced plans to collaborate on next-generation quantum-centric supercomputing architectures.
The partnership aims to develop scalable, open-source platforms that combine IBM’s quantum computers with AMD’s high-performance computing and AI accelerators. This hybrid approach would allow different components of complex problems to be tackled by the computing paradigm best suited to solve them.
Under the collaboration, the companies will explore integrating AMD’s CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs with IBM’s quantum computers to accelerate a new class of emerging algorithms. The teams plan an initial demonstration later this year showing how IBM quantum computers can work alongside AMD technologies to deploy hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
"Quantum computing will simulate the natural world and represent information in an entirely new way," said Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM. "By exploring how quantum computers from IBM and the advanced high-performance compute technologies of AMD can work together, we will build a powerful hybrid model that pushes past the limits of traditional computing."
The proposed effort could also help advance IBM’s vision to deliver fault-tolerant quantum computers by the end of this decade, with AMD technologies potentially providing real-time error correction capabilities.
AMD’s stock movement was also supported by an upgrade from Truist earlier in the day. The company currently powers the world’s two fastest supercomputers according to the TOP500 list - Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and El Capitan at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
