ANSYS achieved these breakthroughs by working with the American National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). Less than a year ago, ANSYS announced Fluent had scaled to 36,000 cores with the help of NCSA. While the nearly 4x increase over the previous record is significant, it tells only part of the story. ANSYS has broadened the scope of simulations allowing for applicability to a much broader set of real-world problems and products than any other company offers. The calculations were run on a Cray® XC30 supercomputer running at 90 percent efficiency - which is unprecedented in its scale and efficiency for parallel processing. Few software packages achieve greater than 75 percent efficiency approaching this scale.
