In recent work we enabled the large-scale solver EDGE and the library LIBXSMM for the Arm architecture. As part of this effort, we ran, for the first time, a fully-featured earthquake simulation on Ampere’s new Altra processor in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Our results show that we are not only able to fully utilize the Armv8.2 cores’ vector pipelines but also all of the 160 cores offered by a single dual-socket cloud instance. A brief overview of this work is featured by Oracle Live as part of the “Advancing the Future of Cloud with Arm-Based Computing” event.
