Do Even More with Your CFD Workloads in the Cloud
AWS introduces new instance with up to 65 percent better price-performance for compute-intensive HPC workloads, including engineering simulations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a mainstay of design engineers working across automotive, aerospace, manufacturing and other sectors. Applications such as OpenFOAM, Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+, Ansys Fluent, and NASA’s FUN3D and OVERFLOW, all enable engineering teams to test their designs thoroughly.

There are certain workloads where the M1 Ultra truly excels. Hit one, and it’s game over for current x86 platforms. It’s surprisingly hard to pin down exactly how Apple’s M1 compares to Intel’s x86 processors. While the chip family has been widely reviewed in a number of common consumer applications, inevitable differences between macOS and Windows, the impact of emulation, and varying degrees of optimization between x86 and M1 all make precise measurement more difficult.

A decade ago, waferscale architectures were dismissed as impractical. Five years ago, they were touted as a fringe possibility for AI/ML. But the next decade might demonstrate waferscale as one of only a few bridges across the post-Moore’s Law divide, at least for some applications. Luckily for the only maker of such a system, Cerebras, those areas are among the most high-value workloads in large industry.

UK MOD (Ministry of Defence) scientists from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) have taken delivery of ICON FOAMpro, for their built environment simulation activities in civil defence and military threat assessments. Dstl use Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) to model various indoor and outdoor dispersal scenarios in public spaces and to develop protective measures. (more…)
ANSYS 18.1 Updates Tech for Topology Optimization, CFD and NVH Simulation
Engineers can now perform simulations faster and easier with the latest ANSYS 18.1 release. This release expands and enhances the software’s capabilities to support more complex simulations, enable simulation earlier in the design cycle, reduce the number of development cycles, and reduce time to market.
ANSYS 18.1 improves the capability of current tools and adds new features and capabilities.
Cloud-based On-Demand Access to CFD Simulation from Pointwise and EXN/Aero
Engineers can now use the Pointwise CFD mesher and the EXN/Aero solver tools via an online platform in order to improve performance, accuracy, and save time and money. Pointwise Inc. and Envenio recently announced a co-licensing agreement to provide both products over the Nimbix High Performance Computing (HPC) cloud-hosted system. (more…)
