The complexity of the AMD EPYC architecture, with its large core counts, non-uniform memory access and distributed L3 caches, can make it challenging to obtain peak performance. This 3-hour webinar covers a range of intermediate-to-advanced topics that will help you to make most effective use of Expanse and other EPYC-based systems. These include an overview of the EPYC architecture, AMD's compilers and math libraries, strategies for mapping processes and tasks to compute cores, Slurm, application tuning and profiling tools.
