SC28
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 2.6 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
64 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
standard to medium simulations with headroom for mesh refinement - significantly more
than typical workstations with 16-32GB. Adequate RAM prevents solver crashes and slow
virtual memory usage.
High-bandwidth memory for lightning-fast data access
Storage
What This Means
This server has
2 storage drives installed.
Each drive is 500 GB, giving you a total
storage capacity of 1000 GB.
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
⚙️ 48-Core Elite HPC for Enterprise-Level CFD
When computational fluid dynamics (CFD) pushes into ultra-high mesh counts and deeply coupled physics, you need hardware that scales without compromise. The 48-Core Elite HPC, built on dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2690 v4 processors, delivers 48 physical cores (96 threads) at 2.20 GHz for true enterprise-class throughput—accelerating ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+ across 12+ million-element cases and well beyond.
Engineered for industrial programs and cutting-edge research, it tackles massive multiphysics, large-scale optimization, and digital-twin workloads with the stability needed for weeks-long transients and automated pipelines.
💻 High-Performance Configuration
Key Specifications
Processors: Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2690 v4 (48 cores, 96 threads, 2.20 GHz)
Architecture: Intel Broadwell-EP
Target Scale: 12M+ elements (steady & transient, multi-domain)
Performance Focus: High parallel efficiency + sustained 24/7 reliability
Why it excels: Broadwell-EP combines high core density, large caches, and strong memory/I-O bandwidth, enabling efficient partitioning for very large meshes while keeping solver communication overhead in check.
🚀 Built for Enterprise-Scale CFD & Research
This platform is tuned for programs where resolution, turnaround, and repeatability drive value:
Complete aircraft/automotive aerodynamics with high-lift and aero-thermal coupling
Multiphase & reacting flows with detailed chemistry (VOF/Eulerian, cavitation, combustion)
Digital twins for predictive maintenance and design-in-the-loop workflows
Large-scale optimization (DOE, adjoint/parametric sweeps, response surfaces)
High-resolution climate & environmental modeling with fine spatial/temporal fidelity
Run bigger meshes, longer transients, and more variants per week—without saturating resources or sacrificing solver stability.
🧠 Architecture Advantages (End-to-End Throughput)
48 cores / 96 threads: Dense parallelism for large partitions and multi-run pipelines
Broadwell-EP memory & cache: Smoother convergence on tight CFLs and stiff physics
NUMA-aware scaling: Low-latency inter-socket communication for big models
I/O headroom: Fast checkpoints, post-processing, and data streaming for digital-twin stacks
Datacenter-grade reliability: Designed for continuous operation and automated job queues
🔧 Practical Tuning Tips (quick wins)
Partition sizing: Start near 0.6–0.9M cells per process; retune after a pilot run
Solver order: Stabilize first-order → switch to second-order for final accuracy
Time-step strategy: CFL-guided ramps + dual-time stepping for stiff transients
Targeted refinement: Focus on shear layers, shocks, recirculation, and thermal gradients
Checkpoint cadence: Frequent autosaves for long campaigns and restartable studies
💼 Ideal Use Cases
Aerospace & automotive R&D divisions demanding high-fidelity aero/thermal results
Process & energy industries modeling combustors, turbines, and heat-exchange networks
Climate & environmental institutes running high-resolution regional models
Industrial digital-twin programs needing deterministic, repeatable compute at scale
