[ale] AMD EPYC CPUs?

[Jim Kinney]

Not yet. Eyeing some new servers from supermicro and digging in the couch for loose change. The raw specs are impressive. $/flop and flops/watt put them in the "absolute best value" class. 

The server types at supermicro are rolling off the design sheets and into manufacturing pretty quickly. There's a specific one I'm waiting for: dual full-length gpu in a 1U with dual epyc cpu, 100G infinniband on board, and dual NVME drives plus 2.5" sas drives. I want a full rack of those less space for the IB switch. :-)
