Murata triples data centre simulation performance while slashing energy use with AMD EPYC processors

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has significantly boosted the performance of its data centre–based simulation workloads while sharply reducing energy consumption, following a move to AMD’s 5th Gen EPYC processors.

The Japanese electronics major, best known for its radio frequency (RF) components used in telecommunications and mobile devices, has modernised the IT infrastructure supporting its RF component simulations. The shift has enabled Murata to triple simulation throughput within the same physical footprint, a critical gain as the complexity and volume of high-frequency design validation continues to rise.

By adopting the latest AMD EPYC processors, Murata has been able to scale its simulation capability without expanding its data centre space, a constraint increasingly faced by manufacturers balancing growth with sustainability and cost pressures. According to the company, the new platform now delivers three times the simulation performance while consuming just one-third of the energy per workload compared ...
