Performance Analysis of Scientific Applications on a Grace System
DescriptionThe NSF funded Frontera system, the fastest academic supercomputer in the US, has supported numerous scientific applications in the area of HPC, Big Data and Machine Learning domains over the last five years. Applications leveraged the computational capabilities of the system to achieve breakthroughs in science and engineering. Frontera enables researchers to tackle significant and complex challenges than ever before. As Frontera is nearing the end of its production life, it will be replaced by a new system, "Horizon". An intermediate system, "Vista", will bridge the gap by enabling researchers to access updated software and hardware technologies before Horizon is available. This paper summarizes early experiences on Vista by reporting on the performance of key applications and presenting its design and architecture. Early results are presented from the CPU architecture of Vista, "Grace-Grace", and compared with other processor technologies at TACC from Intel and AMD.
