This whitepaper highlights how 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors power Amazon EC2 M7a and R7a instances to deliver significant data analytics performance gains. Benchmarking with TPC-H and TPC-DS shows EC2 r7a.4xlarge outperforming Intel and Graviton alternatives, thanks to higher clock speeds and large L3 caches. AMD's unified acceleration strategy, including integration with Apache Spark and the Gluten framework, enhances efficiency by optimizing query execution and reducing overhead. Gluten alone boosts Spark performance up to 2.2x. These innovations help organizations handle large, complex datasets more efficiently in cloud environments.
