The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

It ranks the world’s 500 most powerful supercomputers based on their performance as measured by the Linpack benchmark. However, the speed of a computer in FLOPS can vary depending on the number of bits used in the representation of the floating point numbers in the tests. You may have heard of the Top500 list.

The initial reviews and benchmarks for these processors have been very impressive: AMD EPYC 7002 Series Rome Delivers a Knockout. AMD Rome Second Generation EPYC Review: 2x 64-core Benchmarked. TPC-H Benchmark Results with SQL Server 2017. TPC-E Benchmark Results with SQL Server 2017. Higher memory speed and bandwidth.

Intel server processors have historically delivered significantly better single-threaded CPU performance and lower power consumption than competing AMD processors since the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture in 2008. I am optimistic that they will have higher single-threaded CPU performance than Intel Cascade Lake-SP processors.
