EURO/CFD Reaches 12 TeraFlops with 1054 Cores

Belfort – 13th of February 2012. EURO/CFD, engineering company specializing in numerical calculation, acquires a computing power of 12 TeraFlops at peak speed. HPC cluster at EURO/CFD (CFD as Computational Fluid Dynamics) now reaches 1 054 cores. This investment confirms the company as leader of French CFD engineering firms and allows it to compete with universities clusters.

To address customers’ needs in ever shorter deadlines, top level engineering companies like EURO/CFD have to keep a high reactivity. This is the reason why EURO/CFD decided to invest, with own resources like always, in computing power equal to the biggest clusters in France.

Little BIG, EURO/CFD HPC cluster (High Performance Computing) now contains:

⎫1 054 cores (including Interlagos, the last generation of AMD CPU)
⎫12 TeraFlops (12 billion of operations per second!)
⎫6 To of RAM
⎫Fast InfiniBand QDR type network
⎫Automated data storage locally and remote

CEO Karim Loueslati:

“Turning this 1 000 cores corner is a real pride for our small company. Thanks to this investment in our HPC cluster, we ensure our position as major expert in numerical simulation in France. EURO/CFD team of expert now carries out powerful and complex calculations without the time pressure. They can concentrate on providing technical advice to our customers and on being more reactive to respect customers’ deadlines.

The decrease of delays due to computing allows EURO/CFD’s PhD’s and engineers to focus on their core skills: physics analysis. In one word, investing in cutting edge hardware makes human competencies able to express their talent.”

About EURO/CFD

EURO/CFD is located in Belfort, at the heart of the Energy Valley, and in Lyon. Main activity is numerical simulation of physics phenomenon related to fluid mechanics and heat transfers. Growing interest of industrial companies for Research and Development led the company to propose customized turnkey solutions. EURO/CFD stays at the very edge of technology, with applications fields such as energy, aeronautics or automotive.

NVIDIA Works On CPU Co-Dependency Issues with Kepler GPU

NVIDIA is telling everyone that the GK110, its new Kepler GPU aimed at supercomputing, is all about improving performance per watt. But the other driving theme behind the new architecture is reducing the GPU's reliance on its CPU host. How well it accomplishes both these goals areas could determine the success of the new chip in high performance computing.
