Azure HC-series Virtual Machines cross 20,000 cores for HPC workloads

By Evan Burness Principal Program Manager, Azure HPC

AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 clock frequencies from the Intel Xeon® Scalable first generation family. This enables customers to realize a greater performance uplift when utilizing AVX-optimized applications.HC-series VMs expose 44 non-hyperthreaded CPU cores and 352 GB of RAM, with a baseclock of 2.7 GHz, an all-cores Turbo speed of 3.4 GHz...needs of our customers. One common class of applications are those that simulate the physical and chemical properties of molecules, otherwise known as molecular dynamics. To see how far HC-series VMs could scale, we benchmarked it using CP2K. We chose CP2K for several reasons...For one, it’s widely-used both in academia and industry. In fact, CP2K is one of 13 applications used by PRACE as part of the Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite to drive acceptance testing of supercomputers deployed in Europe. For another, CP2K benefits from AVX-512 so it is a good demonstration of what is possible when the latest hardware...
