Purpose-Built Bare-Metal Architecture for Ansys Fluent

Our bare-metal environment delivers maximum performance for Ansys Fluent 24R1 by utilizing AMD EPYC™ Genoa and Milan CPU’s without the overhead of a hypervisor. Your workflow stays connected through high-speed InfiniBand networking and secure, expandable parallel storage designed specifically for massive engineering simulations.

Bare-Metal Performance for Ansys Fluent

Many Ansys Fluent users remain tethered to smaller virtualized instances on platforms like Google Cloud or Rescale due to the prohibitive 'cloud tax' and inefficient scaling. Corvid HPC breaks this cycle, delivering results in ⅓ the time and cuts costs from $445 down to $211 by utilizing 192-core (2-node) AMD Genoa configuration. By replacing the high-latency hypervisors of typical cloud nodes with low-latency InfiniBand interconnect, Corvid removes the 256-512 core performance ceiling found in standard virtualized Intel environments, providing the stability required to scale all the way to 2,000 cores when mission-critical speed is required to achieve the 718% speedup for a run time of 22 mins.
