MindWalk Holdings Corp. reports 43% lower cost for AI screening using AMD processors
What happened
MindWalk Holdings Corp. published a white paper detailing its LensAI immunogenicity screening process. The screening, which analyzed 890,634 sequences, ran on Amazon EC2 Hpc8a instances powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors. This configuration delivered up to 43% lower cost per sequence than a comparable Intel setup running identical code.
