Maximizing high performance compute (HPC) application performance on AMD EPYC requires a thoughtful approach memory locality and process placement. Below we outline the AMD EPYC architecture and our implementation of it on Azure for HPC applications. We will use the term “pNUMA” to refer to a physical NUMA domain, and “vNUMA” to refer to a virtualized NUMA domain.

Maximizing HPC application performance on Intel Xeon Scalable Processors requires a thoughtful approach to process placement on this new architecture. Here, we outline our implementation of it on Azure HC-series VMs for HPC applications. We will use the term “pNUMA” to refer to a physical NUMA domain, and “vNUMA” to refer to a virtualized NUMA domain. Similarly, we will use the term “pCore” to refer to physical CPU cores, and “vCore” to refer to virtualized CPU cores.

Intel Xeon Platinum, Gold, and Silver CPUs also introduce an on-die 2D mesh network for communication within and external to the CPU socket. We strongly recommend process pinning for optimal performance and consistency. Process pinning will work on HC-series VMs because the underlying silicon is exposed as-is to the guest VM.
