Happy New Year all. I'm speccing up a new workstation to replace my old dual V1 Xeon system that runs GPU-accelerated and non-accelerated QE-6.4.1 and 6.5. Recent developments from AMD make the choice of platform more difficult than just a few months ago for an office-based Linux/Windows workstation.
On the face of it the Threadripper 3960x should easily outperform the i9-10980xe in the CPU-based tasks under Linux but the MKL CPU library is very highly optimised for Intel CPUs. The AMD CPU libraries were updated from 1.3 to 2.0 that I understand brought significant improvements. Does anyone have any experience compiling QE with the new AMD libraries? Thanks Pam Whitfield
