Newest MKL (20.0.4) is best on all platforms except on trestles (20.0.1) is best. There are two executable sets selected by the module at runtime ("skylake" for Pinnacle-I and "bulldozer" for all other platforms). Performance with OpenMP is slightly slower. The AUSURF112 benchmark is used for comparison with "-nk 2" and both CPUs on one node System QE version cores OMP time Pinnacle II-AMD7543 7.1 64 1 86 Pinnacle II-AMD7543 7.1 32 2 89 Pinnacle I-Intel6130 7.1 32 1 133 Pinnacle I-Intel6130 7.1 16 2 137 Trestles-AMD6136 7.1 32 1 718 Trestles-AMD6136 7.1 16 2 858
