The National Institute of nuclear physics in Italy uses EPYC AMD processors

On June 26, 2018 the company AMD announced what National Institute of nuclear physics (INFN) in Italy selected processor AMD EPYC 7351 for equipment of the high-performance cluster.

EPYC AMD processor

As the supplier of cluster computings and tanks for data storage servicing physical experiments provides to INFN access to the big computing powers necessary for difficult researches in the field of nuclear physics. Using AMD EPYC in the organization we began to provide to our users the solutions expanding a range of computing opportunities. Luka Del-Anguello, head of computer center of INFN

16-core AMD EPYC 7351 provide support of all 128 interfaces for connection and 8 channels of memory, as well as all models from the EPYC 7000 series. It is expected that the balance of performance of cores, capacity of memory and opportunities of input-output at the 16-core EPYC 7351 AMD processor in a cluster of HPC will allow INFN to promote further in areas subnuclear, nuclear and astrophysicists. This advanced cluster based on EPYC processors will also provide computing resources to other organizations in Europe when they need expanded computing resources for start of the research developments.

High-performance computing is the one more environment where a set of opportunities of EPYC AMD processors, provides scalability of the computing resources and tanks of storage necessary for difficult researches.
