hardware requirements for 31m cell case
I'm working in bus industry and I'm intrested in simulating interior cooling and heating system. I found this example

The time needed to solve depends on too much variables to say how many CPU's you would need to solve in a specific time. It depends on how many iterations you need, if it's a transient or stationary simulation etc. and also on the used software.
But for sure the CPU's and / or interconnect used in this case are quite slow. Just an example from two clusters I've been working on: Running a 120M cells for 5000 iterations case takes about 20h on 256 cores (CPU's based on Intel's Nehalem architecture, frequency not known) with Star-CCM+. Same software, 97M cells, 64 cores, 6000 iterations took about 3,5 days. CPU's: Intel Xeon X5550, 2,66GHz. Both clusters have been some "common" Dell clusters. Nothing special but also nothing build with computers purchased at Walmart. |

What kind of simulatinos are you doing, if I may ask? Kind meaning what physically are you simulating |
Quite different cases. Could be multiphase, external aero, pumps, wind turbines, CHT...
So far no chemical reaction, no combustion, no LES / DES. For sure there are some other things still missing I didn't mention here. The cases I mentioned in my previous post have been an external aero case on a racing car and a pump. Both with standard physics: Incompressible, constant density, isothermal, RKE turbulence... |
