Pilot setup

Client system architectures

• ivybridge (SURF, VUB)
• haswell (UGent, SURF)
• skylake_avx512 (Xeon Gold; SURF, UGent)
• ivybridge-kepler (SURF, VUB)
• cascadelake-volta (UGent)
• ivybridge-nvidia
  • fat GPU builds that can be tested on various GPU systems (anything newer than ivybridge)

Client OS

• focus on Linux only for now (no macOS/WSL)

Scientific software

OpenFOAM

• CPU
• use tutorial inputs included in installation?
• inputs are different across different OpenFOAM versions!
• contact Mark Olesen (via Kenneth)?

TensorFlow

• CPU/GPU
• can use PRACE benchmark inputs?
  • https://repository.prace-ri.eu/git/UEABS/ueabs#tensorflow

GROMACS

• CPU/GPU
• can use input sets that Victor Holanda (CSCS, @victorusu) has put together
• or:
  • https://www.mpibpc.mpg.de/grubmueller/bench
  • ftp://ftp.gromacs.org/pub/benchmarks (from 2015)
  • https://www.nvidia.com/en-sg/data-center/gpu-accelerated-applications/gromacs/ (GROMACS 5.1)

Bioinformatics pipeline

• something COVID-19 related?
