Building a cluster to run VASP

#1 Post by jedidi » Sun Apr 13, 2014 12:27 pm

Dear VASP users,

We are currently running VASP over AMD CPUS, and we plan to buy new hardware equipment (to be in service after the summer) for the next coming two years. Thus, we would like to know which hardware architecture would be the best to run future versions of VASP (mostly DFT and NEB calculations).

So my question is : is x86 CPUS still the best option or would it be more profitable to run future VASP versions on new architectures like GPU and/or Intel Xeon Phi ?

Best Regards,
Abdou
