  • Evaluation of AMD EPYC
    Evaluation of AMD EPYC Chris Hollowell <[email protected]> HEPiX Fall 2018, PIC Spain What is EPYC? EPYC is a new line of x86_64 server CPUs from AMD based on their Zen microarchitecture Same microarchitecture used in their Ryzen desktop processors Released June 2017 First new high performance series of server CPUs offered by AMD since 2012 Last were Piledriver-based Opterons Steamroller Opteron products cancelled AMD had focused on low power server CPUs instead x86_64 Jaguar APUs ARM-based Opteron A CPUs Many vendors are now offering EPYC-based servers, including Dell, HP and Supermicro 2 How Does EPYC Differ From Skylake-SP? Intel’s Skylake-SP Xeon x86_64 server CPU line also released in 2017 Both Skylake-SP and EPYC CPU dies manufactured using 14 nm process Skylake-SP introduced AVX512 vector instruction support in Xeon AVX512 not available in EPYC HS06 official GCC compilation options exclude autovectorization Stock SL6/7 GCC doesn’t support AVX512 Support added in GCC 4.9+ Not heavily used (yet) in HEP/NP offline computing Both have models supporting 2666 MHz DDR4 memory Skylake-SP 6 memory channels per processor 3 TB (2-socket system, extended memory models) EPYC 8 memory channels per processor 4 TB (2-socket system) 3 How Does EPYC Differ From Skylake (Cont)? Some Skylake-SP processors include built in Omnipath networking, or FPGA coprocessors Not available in EPYC Both Skylake-SP and EPYC have SMT (HT) support 2 logical cores per physical core (absent in some Xeon Bronze models) Maximum core count (per socket) Skylake-SP – 28 physical / 56 logical (Xeon Platinum 8180M) EPYC – 32 physical / 64 logical (EPYC 7601) Maximum socket count Skylake-SP – 8 (Xeon Platinum) EPYC – 2 Processor Inteconnect Skylake-SP – UltraPath Interconnect (UPI) EYPC – Infinity Fabric (IF) PCIe lanes (2-socket system) Skylake-SP – 96 EPYC – 128 (some used by SoC functionality) Same number available in single socket configuration 4 EPYC: MCM/SoC Design EPYC utilizes an SoC design Many functions normally found in motherboard chipset on the CPU SATA controllers USB controllers etc.

  • The Wysiwyg and Vivien Hardware Guide
    The wysiwyg and Vivien Hardware Guide [Updated June 5, 2019] This guide describes the principles of selecting hardware components for a wysiwyg or Vivien workstation, and it is meant to be a guideline for choosing the right hardware for your intended use of the software. As such, actual hardware models are not specified for most components, but based on the information provided below, you will be able to decide on these yourself. Once you have, if you wish to confirm the components you selected, our Technical Support Department will be happy to look over your list; please see the end of this article for information on how to get in touch with us. Before discussing the various components and the criteria for selecting them, there are four important things to note. It strongly recommended that you read all this information and follow the advice before considering the purchase of new hardware. 1. Geometry must always be properly optimized, in all files, regardless of their complexity. Even the best/fastest/most expensive hardware will not be able to properly- handle a file that is not optimized and therefore contains inefficient geometry. If you haven’t done so already, please read through this thread on our Forum, in order to learn how to optimize your files. The key to understanding the optimization principles described here lies with the articles mentioned in the first paragraph of the first message, “Part 1” and “Part 2”; please ensure that you also click those links and read the information they reveal. 2. Even in an optimized file performance can be poor if your video card driver is out-of-date and/or your video card’s settings and/or Shaded View options are inappropriate.

Introduction to AMD’s processor families (3) Historical remarks 1) Beyond x86 processors AMD also designed and marketed two embedded processor families; • the 2900 family of bipolar, 4-bit slice microprocessors (1975-?) used in a number of processors, such as particular DEC 11 family models, and • the 29000 family (29K family) of CMOS, 32-bit embedded microcontrollers (1987-95). In late 1995 AMD cancelled their 29K family development and transferred the related design team to the firm’s K5 effort, in order to focus on x86 processors [3]. 2) Initially, AMD designed the Am386/486 processors that were clones of Intel’s processors.
