HPC Performance and Scalability Results with Azure HBv3 VMs

drMikeT : CentOS 8.1+ is recommended for HBv3 due to Milan-specific optimizations, though 7.6+ is expected to work. Software stack here: HBv3-series VM overview - Azure Virtual Machines - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Docs

Note the difference in VM topology, NUMA nodes etc. which determine job distribution (MPI ranks / OMP threads): HBv3-series VM overview - Azure Virtual Machines - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Docs

Another guidance on scaling large jobs well is here: Scaling HPC applications - Azure Virtual Machines - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Docs

We'll look to provide updated scaling guidance as it becomes available.
