Efficiency Analysis of Intel and AMD x86_64 Architectures for Ab Initio Calculations: A Case Study of VASP
P. 430–441.
Stegailov V., Vecher V.
Nowadays, the wide spectrum of Intel Xeon processors is available. The new Zen CPU architecture developed by AMD has extended the number of options for x86_64 HPC hardware. This large number of options makes the optimal CPU choice for HPC systems not a straightforward procedure. Such a co-design procedure should follow the requests from the end-users community. Modern computational materials science studies are among the major consumers of HPC resources worldwide. The VASP code is perhaps the most popular tool for these research. In this work, we discuss the benchmark metric and results based on a VASP test model that give us the possibility to compare different CPUs and to select best options with respect to time-to-solution and energy-to-solution criteria.

Accurate benchmarking is critical for selecting computing architectures optimized for machine learning (ML) tasks. Conventional benchmarks such as High-Performance Linpack (HPL) and High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) often fail to capture the diversity and complexity of modern ML workloads. This study investigates the correlation between hardware parameters (e.g., processor architecture, cache size, frequency) and ML ...

In the rapidly evolving domain of Recommender Systems (RecSys), new algorithms frequently claim state-of-the-art performance based on evaluations over a limited set of arbitrarily selected datasets. However, this approach may fail to holistically reflect their effectiveness due to the significant impact of dataset characteristics on algorithm performance. Addressing this deficiency, this paper introduces a novel ...

Modern computational tasks are often required to not only guarantee predefined accuracy, but get the result fast. Optimizing calculations using floating point numbers, as opposed to integers, is a non-trivial task. For this reason, there is a need to explore new ways to improve such operations. This paper presents analysis and comparison of various floating ...
