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.
(more…)CFD COULD BE THE ENGINE THAT DRIVES WAFERSCALE MAINSTREAM
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.
