SC25
Unmatched Performance
Built for demanding CFD simulations and computational workloads
Processor
The brain of your simulation power
What This Means for Your Simulations
This server has 2
physical CPUs installed.
Each CPU has 14 cores and
28 threads, giving you a total of
28 cores and
56 threads.
Why this matters: Think of cores as individual workers - with
28 cores, this server can perform
28 calculations at exactly the same time. CFD
simulations divide your fluid domain into millions of cells, and each core can solve
equations for different cells simultaneously, dramatically reducing solution time.
Perfect for: Medium to large simulations (2-10 million cells),
steady-state aerodynamics, heat transfer analyses, mixing studies, and parametric
studies. This dual-CPU setup provides 3-4x faster solve times compared to standard
8-core workstations, letting you iterate faster and test more design variations.
The 2.4 GHz clock speed determines how fast each
core processes individual calculations. Higher clock speeds improve both single-threaded
operations (mesh generation, post-processing) and the per-core efficiency during parallel
solving.
Industry-standard CPU benchmark • Higher scores = Faster simulations
Memory (RAM)
What This Means
128 GB is
your simulation's "working space" - it holds all active data: mesh geometry,
fluid properties, boundary conditions, and results during solving.
DDR3 provides high-bandwidth data access
essential for CFD solvers that read and update millions of cell values thousands of times
during iterations. This capacity handles
professional CFD work like large steady-state analyses and turbulence modeling - much
more than typical 16-32GB PC. More RAM means larger meshes and more complex physics
without performance degradation.
High-bandwidth memory for lightning-fast data access
Storage
What This Means
This server has
2 storage drives installed.
Each drive is 1000 GB, giving you a total
storage capacity of 1.95 TB.
SATA SSD storage provides extremely fast
read/write speeds for your simulation files and results.
SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives - ideal for loading large mesh files
and saving iteration data quickly.
Multiple drives provide redundancy and can be configured for increased performance or
data protection.
Ultra-fast storage for rapid I/O operations
Network Speed
Fast file transfers and remote access. Upload meshes and download results quickly from anywhere.
Monthly Traffic
Generous bandwidth allowance for uploading/downloading large simulation files without limits or overage fees.
Operating System
Pre-installed and ready to use. Compatible with ANSYS, OpenFOAM, and other CFD software.
About This Server
⚙️ 24-Core Powerhouse for Advanced CFD Simulations
When computational fluid dynamics (CFD) demands both high mesh counts and fast iteration, you need hardware that balances serious parallel throughput with strong single-core speed. The 24-Core Powerhouse, built on dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2697 v2 processors, delivers exactly that—accelerating ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+ workflows with advanced turbulence, multiphase physics, and high-detail geometries.
With 24 physical cores (48 threads) running at 2.70 GHz, this platform confidently handles 18+ million-element meshes while keeping meshing, preprocessing, and post-processing responsive—so you can iterate faster without sacrificing accuracy.
💻 High-Performance Configuration
Key Specifications
Processors: Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2697 v2 (24 cores, 48 threads, 2.70 GHz)
Architecture: Intel Ivy Bridge-EP
Target Scale: 18M+ elements (steady & transient)
Performance Focus: High parallel efficiency + brisk per-core responsiveness
Why it works: Ivy Bridge-EP pairs a solid base clock with efficient multi-threading and large caches—keeping the entire workflow (prep → solve → post) smooth on big, physics-rich models.
🚀 Built for High-Fidelity, Real-World CFD
This system is tuned for production programs where accuracy, stability, and turnaround matter:
