```
This is the default.
### Build setup for AMD EPYC / RYZEN
The AMD EPYC is a multichip module comprising 32 cores spread over four distinct chips each with 8 cores.
So, even with a single socket node there is a quad-chip module. Dual socket nodes with 64 cores total
are common. Each chip within the module exposes a separate NUMA domain.
There are four NUMA domains per socket and we recommend one MPI rank per NUMA domain.
MPI-3 is recommended with the use of four ranks per socket,
and 8 threads per rank.
The following configuration is recommended for the AMD EPYC platform.
``` bash
../configure --enable-precision=double\
--enable-simd=AVX2 \
--enable-comms=mpi3 \
CXX=mpicxx
```
If gmp and mpfr are NOT in standard places (/usr/) these flags may be needed:
``` bash
--with-gmp=<path> \
--with-mpfr=<path> \
```
where `<path>` is the UNIX prefix where GMP and MPFR are installed.
Using MPICH and g++ v4.9.2, best performance can be obtained using explicit GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY flags for each MPI rank.
This can be done by invoking MPI on a wrapper script omp_bind.sh to handle this.
It is recommended to run 8 MPI ranks on a single dual socket AMD EPYC, with 8 threads per rank using MPI3 and
shared memory to communicate within this node:
mpirun -np 8 ./omp_bind.sh ./Benchmark_dwf --mpi 2.2.2.1 --dslash-unroll --threads 8 --grid 16.16.16.16 --cacheblocking 4.4.4.4
Where omp_bind.sh does the following:
```
#!/bin/bash
numanode=` expr $PMI_RANK % 8 `
basecore=`expr $numanode \* 16`
core0=`expr $basecore + 0 `
core1=`expr $basecore + 2 `
core2=`expr $basecore + 4 `
core3=`expr $basecore + 6 `
core4=`expr $basecore + 8 `
core5=`expr $basecore + 10 `
core6=`expr $basecore + 12 `
core7=`expr $basecore + 14 `
export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="$core0 $core1 $core2 $core3 $core4 $core5 $core6 $core7"
echo GOMP_CUP_AFFINITY $GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY
$@
```
