EURO/CFD Turns The "1 000 Cores" Corner To Reach 12 TeraFlops
EURO/CFD, engineering company specializing in numerical calculation, acquires a computing power of 12 TeraFlops at peak speed. HPC cluster at EURO/CFD now reaches 1 054 cores. This confirms the company as leader of French CFD engineering firms.
Online, February 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - 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."
