titleHow to estimate Service Units request for Setonix-GPU?

Researchers planning their migration from NVIDIA-based GPU systems like Pawsey’s Topaz and NCI’s Gadi to AMD-based Setonix-GPU should use the following example strategy to calculate their Service Units request.   

  • Simulation walltime on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU: 1h
  • Safe estimate for Service Units usage on a single Setonix’s AMD MI250X GPU: 1h * 1/2 * 128 = 64 Service Units

titleSetonix-GPU migration pathway

The Setonix’s AMD MI250X GPUs have a very specific migration pathway related to CUDA to HIP and OpenACC to OpenMP conversions. Pawsey is working closely with research groups within PaCER project (https://pawsey.org.au/pacer/) and with vendors to further extend the list of supported codes.
