“2020 is a milestone year for OIST with new research units expanding the number of research areas. This growth is driving a significant increase in our computational needs,” mentioned Eddy Taillefer, Ph.D., Section Leader, Scientific Computing & Data Analysis Section. “Under the common resource model for which the computing system is shared by all OIST users we needed a significant increase in core-count capacity to both absorb these demands and cope with the significant growth of OIST. The latest AMD EPYC processor was the only technology that could match this core-count need in a cost-performance effective way.”
Key elements of OIST’s collection of the AMD EPYC processors included superior cost-performance, reminiscence/PCIe bandwidth, and excessive core counts per server. OIST plans to additionally think about EPYC processors for different rising computational wants for University researchers sooner or later.
“AMD is proud to be working with leading global institutions to bring scientific research to the forefront through the power of high performance computing technology,” mentioned Ram Peddibhotla, company vice chairman, EPYC product administration, AMD. “With high performance capabilities, ease of management and scalability, 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors can assist OIST researchers with advancing technological innovations and supporting their research goals in bioinformatics, computational neuroscience, and physics.”
