RDNA (Radeon DNA[2][3]) is a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture and accompanying instruction set architecture developed by AMD. It is the successor to their Graphics Core Next (GCN) microarchitecture/instruction set.
The AMD RDNA 3 architecture features industry-advancing chiplet technology to deliver next-generation performance, visuals, and power efficiency. The ever-advancing AMD RDNA architecture improves performance-per-watt efficiency generation over generation, paving the way to better gaming.
AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture has officially arrived with the launch of the Radeon RX 9000 series, and early benchmarks suggest that AMD is no longer just chasing the competition—it’s shaping up to be a serious contender, especially in the mid-to-high-end GPU segment.
After the RDNA 4 generation, which left AMD without a top-end contender, fighting for the middle-end market share, a UDNA / RDNA 5 will be a welcome addition. We are looking forward to seeing what UDNA design is capable of and what microarchitectural changes AMD has designed.
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) codes for the rRNAs used in the production of ribosomes, the sites of cellular protein synthesis. In most eukaryotes, ribosomal DNA consists of tandemly repeated arrays of four or five genes located at the nucleolus organizer region (NOR) of one or more chromosomes.
Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.
In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the structure and organization of rDNA, its role in sensing changes in the genome, and its linkage to aging.
With RDNA, AMD has revisited almost every block in the hardware with a drive, tenacity and focus to make RDNA our best ever architecture for graphics and low latency compute. Among a myriad of changes, RDNA introduces a lower-latency, higher effective IPC shader core and a new cache hierarchy.
