Didn't set up a dedicated arch for epyc yet, we're just using haswell arch on epyc machines and it works fine with foss 2016b, 2017b and 2018b. Will do that for gcc 8.x and zen2, which I expect for foss-2019b. > In addition: any experiences on how the performance compares to recent > Intel systems for particular applications? Genomic workloads show about the same single thread performance at 2.0GHz as haswell on 2.5GHz and 97% of skylake @ 3GHz. For us, epyc is the way forward. -- Jurij Pečar HPC Engineer, IT Operations, IT Services EMBL Heidelberg, Meyerhofstraße 1, 69117, Heidelberg, Germany Room 13-401
