NHR@FAU has recently installed its new GPU cluster "Alex", which is currently undergoing user-side testing until it is ready for general use. Alex has a total of 192 Nvidia A100 and 304 Nvidia A40 GPGPUs that will be available nation-wide soon; we decided to run some GROMACS benchmarking tests of MD...

Dear Symposium participant, with this short note we want to cordially thank you for your interest and participation in the Inauguration Symposium of the NHR Atomistic Simulation Center (ASC)! We were excited to see so many people register for the meeting. Although in the era of Zoom hopping on a...

In light of our new cluster procurement for NHR@FAU, we ran several benchmarks on both an Intel Xeon "Ice Lake" Platinum 8360Y node (2x 36 cores + SMT) and different NVIDIA GPUs to determine the optimal hardware configuration for our users. For the corresponding host CPUs of the GPUs, please visit o...

Many of our users at FAU are aware that it is possible to allocate more than one GPU on a TinyGPU node. The reason behind running a calculation on more than one GPU is quite simply a hope for increased performance, since gathering the appropriate amount of data for research is often time consuming. ...
