MangoBoost Sets New Benchmark for Multi-Node LLM Training on AMD GPUs in MLPerf Training v5.0
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MangoBoost, a provider of cutting-edge system solutions for maximizing compute efficiency and scalability, has validated the scalability and efficiency of large-scale AI training on AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs through its MLPerf Training v5.0 submission. Tailored for enterprise data centers prioritizing performance, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, this milestone demonstrates that state-of-the-art LLM training is now viable beyond traditional vendor-locked GPU platforms. This showcases how the AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs and ROCm™ software stack synergize with MangoBoost's LLMBoost™ AI Enterprise software and GPUBoost™ RoCEv2 NIC. Share Using 32 AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs across four nodes, MangoBoost fine-tuned the Llama2-70B-LoRA model in just 10.91 minutes, setting the fastest multi-node MLPerf benchmark on AMD GPUs to date. The system achieved near-linear scaling efficiency (95–100%), proving that MangoBoost's stack can support practical and scalable LLM training in production environments. Scalability and Efficiency for Enterprise Data Centers The result showcases more than just benchmark success—it underscores how enterprises can reliably scale LLM training across clusters without network bottlenecks or rigid infrastructure dependencies. Mango LLMBoost™: A full-featured MLOps software platform for large language models, supporting model parallelism, automatic tuning, batch scheduling, and advanced memory management. Mango GPUBoost™ RoCEv2 RDMA: Inter-GPU communication hardware optimized for low-latency, high-throughput node-to-node communication, sustaining line-rate performance across thousands of concurrent QPs. These technologies together deliver predictable and efficient multi-node training, ideal for organizations operating their own AI infrastructure or deploying on public cloud. Industry-First MLPerf Training on AMD MI300X GPUs This is the first-ever MLPerf Training submission on AMD GPUs spanning multiple nodes. MangoBoost's platform demonstrated robust performance with a 4-node, 32-GPU cluster and confirmed compatibility with additional model sizes and structures—including Llama2-7B and Llama3.1-8B—in internal benchmarks. These results validate the generalizability of MangoBoost's platform beyond benchmarks to diverse production-scale use cases. " I'm excited to see MangoBoost's first MLPerf Training results, pairing their LLMBoost AI Enterprise MLOps software with their RoCEv2-based GPUBoost DPU hardware to unlock the full power of AMD GPUs, demonstrated by their scalable performance from a single-node MI300X to 2- and 4-node MI300X results on Llama2-70B LoRA. Their results underscore that a well-optimized software stack is critical to fully harness the capabilities of modern AI accelerators." — David Kanter, Founder, Head of MLPerf, MLCommons Vendor-Neutral AI Infrastructure Enabled by AMD Collaboration The achievement was made possible through deep collaboration with AMD and seamless integration with the ROCm™ software ecosystem, enabling full utilization of MI300X's compute, memory bandwidth, and capacity. Enterprises are now empowered to choose infrastructure based on business needs—not vendor constraints. " We congratulate MangoBoost on their MLPerf 5.0 training results on AMD GPUs and are excited to continue our collaboration with them to unleash the full power of AMD GPUs. In this MLPerf Training submission, MangoBoost has achieved a key milestone in demonstrating training results on AMD GPUs across 4 nodes (32 GPUs). This showcases how the AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs and ROCm™ software stack synergize with MangoBoost's LLMBoost™ AI Enterprise software and GPUBoost™ RoCEv2 NIC." — Meena Arunachalam, Fellow, AI Performance Design Engineering, AMD "At MangoBoost, we've shown that software-hardware co-optimization enables scalable, efficient LLM training without vendor lock-in. Our MLPerf result is a key milestone proving our technology is ready for enterprise-scale AI training with superior efficiency and flexibility," said CEO Jangwoo Kim. MangoBoost continues to develop innovations in communication optimization, hybrid parallelism, topology-aware scheduling, and domain-specific acceleration to further scale performance in distributed AI workloads.

North American Towable Recreational Vehicle (RV) net sales increased 9.1% Y/Y, while North American Motorized RV net sales rose 3.1% Y/Y in the quarter. North American Towable RV net sales benefitted from 5.5% higher unit shipments and a 3.6% increase in net price per unit. Gross profit margin improved 200 basis points to 14.9%, attributed to higher sales, less discounting, better warranty costs, and ongoing savings. North American Motorized RV net sales increased due to a 10.9% rise in unit shipments (partly from promotions), though a 7.8% decrease in net price per unit (due to product mix shift and higher discounting) partially offset this. Gross profit margin fell to 10.5% from 11.1%, primarily owing to increased sales discounting. As of April 30, the order backlog for North American Towable RV stood at $634.3 million (-14.4%) and North American Motorized RV came in at $883.7 million (-4.5%). European RV net sales decreased 5.1% Y/Y for the quarter, led by a 12.2% decrease in unit shipments, which was offset in part by a 7.1% Y/Y increase in the overall net price per unit.

Todd Woelfer, senior VP and COO, said, 'As we anticipated and messaged at the beginning of our fiscal year, our North American Motorized and European segments have both seen year-over-year declines in gross margin but still achieved resilient results considering the challenging environments facing those segments.' 'While our consolidated margin this quarter was unfavorably impacted by actions we took to deepen our partnerships with key dealers, strategically, deepening these key relationships is vital to our long-term market position and these decisions favorably position THOR for the future as we look ahead,' Thor Industries reaffirmed its FY25 EPS guidance of $3.30 to $4.00 compared to analyst estimates of $3.59. The company also maintained its FY25 sales guidance at $9.00 billion to $9.50 billion versus the analyst estimate of $9.25 billion. Bob Martin, president and CEO, added, 'Our financial guidance assumed a stronger second half of our fiscal year, and our fiscal third quarter performance reflects the value of our strategies in the currently difficult market.' 'We expect the fourth quarter of our fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of our fiscal 2026 to be challenging. The current economic uncertainty has led to downward pressure on consumer confidence and has negatively impacted retail pull-through. We believe that upon the resolution of this uncertainty, we will see improved consumer confidence and the return of a strong retail environment,' he added. Year-to-date, the stock has declined around 11%. The short float for Thor Industries is 18.33%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
