Table 1. Compute systems used and their configuration. The machine “xrmlite” is a Linux workstation at Northwestern University. The cluster “bebop” is at the Laboratory Computing Resource Center (LCRC) at Argonne National Laboratory (with four Northwestern University nodes included), while the cluster “theta” is at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) [69,70]. With both “bebop” and “theta,” we used only a fraction of the large number of available nodes for the strong scaling studies described in Sec. 6.2. We note that “xrmlite” has two Quadro P5000 GPUs, each connected to the CPU via PCIe3.0.
Compute System | Processor | Cores/node | Memory/node | Interconnect |
---|---|---|---|---|
xrmlite | 2x Xeon E5-2620 v4 | 16 | 512 GB | N/A |
bebop/LCRC | Xeon Phi 7250 | 68 | 192 GB | Omni-Path Fabric |
theta/ALCF | Xeon Phi 7230 | 64 | 192 GB | Aries Dragonfly |
