Frontier sets fluid dynamics speed record, cutting simulation time from 38.5 to 1.5 hours on AMD GPUs


Ansys, a simulation software company, used its Fluent software to simulate a complex turbine system on one of the world's most powerful supercomputers. By running the task...

Supercomputers can do wonders with CFD applications, and AMD Instinct GPUs have been properly leveraged to reduce the time needed to run these simulations, with room for even more improvement. Frontier runs on AMD Epyc CPUs and Instinct GPUs, which have gained traction even as Nvidia continues to semi-monopolize the data center GPU market. The result: a 2.2-billion-cell axial turbine stator simulation that helped pinpoint key flow and turbulence structures early in the design phase.
