Webinar: Extreme Scalability for High-Fidelity CFD Simulations

CFD models of 100 million+ cells are increasingly common. Models of a billion+ cells are emerging. To meet demand for 10 to 100x larger models, the simulations will have to scale to 10 to 100x more cores. Both compute environment capabilities and capacity must be enhanced. Learn how Cray and ANSYS are scaling production models to 1000s of cores and providing the compute environment to take CFD simulations to the next level of extreme fidelity.
