With the beginning of 2021, eight National High Performance Computing (NHR) Centers have been established throughout Germany. The three centers in Paderborn (PC2), Erlangen (NHR@FAU), and Berlin (NHR@ZIB) have a joint focus on atomistic simulations and as such form the virtual Atomistic Simulation C...

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...

On July 27, 2021 we presented an open webinar with lectures and demos/hands-on for the Institute for Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University, showcasing the tools likwid-topology, likwid-pin, likwid-perfctr, and OSACA for analyzing the performance of SpMV on the A64FX processor with...
