CERFACS and CNRS perform first-ever Large Eddy Simulation of combustion instabilities in a rocket engine

Researchers have been able to use the CERFACS LES code AVBP to simulate the instabilities which appear in certain rocket engines under extreme conditions. The massively parallel capacities offered by AVBP have allowed the code to run on 65 536 processors in production mode on the Bluegene Q machine of CINECA.

Scania cooperates with PDC to further improve its vehicles

Simulation and testing are critical components of the product development process at Scania. Before the use of high performance computing technologies, developing new vehicle components and designs was a time-consuming and costly process as prototypes of new ideas had to be built and then tested to simulate their real-world performance.

New supercomputing record set by ANSYS, HLRS and Cray ​

ANSYS, the High Performance Computing Center (HLRS) of the University of Stuttgart, and Cray Inc. have set a new supercomputing world record enabling organizations to create complete virtual prototypes of products faster than ever. ANSYS Fluent has been scaled to 172,032 computer cores on the HLRS supercomputer Hazel Hen, a Cray XC40 system.
