Madison, WisconsinㅡAugust 14, 2024ㅡCONVERGE Horizon, a high-performance cloud computing platform from Convergent Science, is now offering a new hardware option: fourth-generation AMD EPYCTM processors. This node type, called BM-AMD-192, is the successor to the third-generation BM-AMD-128 nodes already available on CONVERGE Horizon.
The BM-AMD-192 nodes feature 192 cores and 2304 GB of memory. Their AMD EPYC 9J14 processors are significantly faster than the previous generation's AMD EPYC 7J13 processors. For users of CONVERGE Horizon, this new node type can substantially reduce runtime for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
For example, a Sandia hydrogen direct-injection internal combustion engine simulation demonstrated a 50% speedup when run on a BM-AMD-192 node compared to a BM-AMD-128 node. The simulation used the SAGE detailed chemistry solver and Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes turbulence modeling and had a maximum cell count of over 5 million.
"We're pleased to be expanding our hardware options on CONVERGE Horizon," says Keith Richards, co-founder and owner of Convergent Science. "We want to provide our customers access to the latest and greatest computing resources out there, so they can turn around their simulation results faster, accelerate their design process, and ultimately get new products to consumers more quickly."
