As a leader in High Performance Computing, Koi Computers has partnered with Ansys, Cornelis Networks, and Intel to deliver the XTremeSimulation HPC Starter Cluster, an Ansys-Ready Turnkey Solution that is performance optimized to accelerate product development and increase speed to market. This unique Ansys-Ready HPC Starter Cluster will rapidly enable and accelerate the tools required to enable real-world multi-physics solutions, incorporating fluids, structures, thermal and electromagnetic solutions for the most complex problems.

Ansys® Fluent® on 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Processors

Ansys Fluent have seen measured performance improvements of up to 19 percent from optimizations with the popular Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MLK), which ensures new instructions like Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) work seamlessly for developers. In addition, Ansys collaborates closely with Intel to ensure Fluent is optimized to perform at scale on Intel architecture.

  • Up To 54%
    Better performance than
    previous-generation processors
  • Up To 19%
    Speedup based on Intel MKL and Intel AVX-512
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

With eight DDR4 memory channels, up to 40 cores per socket, increased cache sizes, and a 20 percent increase in instructions per clod compared to previous-generation processors, 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver exceptional performance for a range of applications. The latest generation is configured to support up to 6 TB of system memory per processor with support for Intel Optane persistent memory (PMem) 200 series.

UNMATCHED ECOSYSTEM

Intel has engaged for decades with software providers like Ansys, who optimize their applications for Intel architecture. As a result, users achieve greater return on investment (ROI) from software licenses, while improving performance and scalability – and developers get a better out-of-box experience.
