Cloud Hosting Partner

Corvid HPC was built by engineers like you with real world design & simulation experience. Whether it's your first time leaving the desktop environment or are well versed in running on the cloud, we are here to provide a white glove customer experience.

Corvid HPC delivers turnkey access to Ansys software tools on bare metal compute resources architected for engineering simulation. Grown out of the DOD industrial base, Corvid has been enabling large scale computing for engineering simulation since 2004. We own and operate our own hardware in the US and are equipped to handle your commercial, NQA-1, or regulatory compliance (i.e., NIST 800-53, ITAR/EAR, and/or CUI data requiring US Data sovereignty) workload needs.

Our goal is to bring the best user experience for Ansys products, enabling customers to elevate their engineering simulation output and translate it into tangible business value. We have helped our users access thousands of cores within minutes from a web browser. Corvid brings the most powerful elements of HPC to life with user-friendly apps. Our simplified & competitive pricing structure is unique in a market of variable and complex pricing schemes.

Ansys Fluent CFD Study

Before

  • 72.5 Million Elements, Natural Convection solve

  • On premise 36 core machine, 72 hour wall clock time

  • Fast turnaround time enables field sales team to capture the largest jobs

Cores vs Simulation Time (hrs)

Ansys HFSS 3D layout - PCB Antenna Simulation

Before

  • Local hardware - 12 cores / 9 hour per solve

  • 1 iteration per workday max

  • Turnaround time limits using simulation as design tool

With

  • Corvid HPC - 4.5X speedup to under 2 hours

  • Customer can now solve 4+ iterations per workday

  • Engineer can now do in 1 week what 4+ weeks took before
