Dear NEST users,
We are going to buy some nodes for the departmental HPC cluster and they are currently
oriented towards nodes with AMD processors (e.g., AMD EPYC 7413 and AMD EPYC 9654 2). On
HPC, in the past years we have always been using Intel-based nodes (e.g., Xeon Gold). I
just wanted to check if there are possible issues in using these nodes or if others have
already been using multi-CPU AMD nodes successfully.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Best,
Alberto

Dear Alberto and NEST users,
Do you know that you can get access for free to the top EU HPCs inclusive LUMI that has
AMD processors?
National Centres of Competences (NCCs) for High-Performance Computing are in each EU
country and are part of EuroCC https://www.eurocc-access.eu and EuroHPC JU
https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/index_en
EuroHPC JU is a joint initiative between the EU, European countries and private partners
to develop a World Class Supercomputing Ecosystem in Europe.
For example, I work in Swedish NCC: https://enccs.se/
The focus of NCCs is to:
1. Provide free access to the best EU supercomputers. We are in pre-exascale right now
before JUPITER is coming.
2. Improve the public’s competence about HPCs and Technologies generally.
List of hardware: https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/about/our-supercomputers_en
Best regards,
Anastasiia Andriievska

Dear Alberto,
we have been using AMD EPYC nodes for some time now and didn't encounter any AMD
specific issues.
To the contrary, we observed very good performance for NEST simulations with the AMD EPYC
Rome 7702 nodes, see for example
here<https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2634-4386/ac55fc/meta>ta>.
Have a nice weekend, too.
Best,
Anno
