If you don’t have an active user account, first request a 30-day evaluation of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite. Our License Terms apply to using the Amsterdam Modeling Suite. The AMS2023 release notes summarize major changes and improvements since AMS2022.
Note: For recent AMD machines, you may benefit from the AMD-Zen optimized binaries, while for recent Macs (M1/M2), the Apple Silicon binaries should be fastest.
See also hardware recommendations.
Other binaries: for Apple Silicon, AMD Zen, with OpenMPI, or statically linked MKL
| Release | Operating System | MPI |
|---|---|---|
| ams2023.103 | 64-bit Windows | Microsoft MPI, optimized for AMD-Zen |
| ams2023.103 | Linux (x86-64, 64-bit) | Intel MPI + statically linked MKL |
| ams2023.103 | Linux (x86-64, 64-bit) | Intel MPI with AOCL, optimized for AMD-Zen |
| ams2023.103 | Linux (x86-64, 64-bit) | OpenMPI |
| ams2023.103 | macOS 13.2+ (Apple Silicon) | OpenMPI |
The main Linux binary ships with runtime IntelMPI libraries, which may be replaced with local MPI libraries, e.g. on the Cray XC series via ABI (see the Installation manual for more details). The hardware Q&A summary could help to find the best hardware set up for you.
