SC58

SC58 — 48-Core Modern EPYC CFD Node with 7.5 TB NVMe for Fast ANSYS Fluent Solves

The SC58 node pairs a modern single-socket AMD EPYC processor — 48 cores and 96 threads of Zen 4 compute at up to 3.8 GHz — with 128 GB of RAM and a generous 7.5 TB of fast NVMe datacenter storage. It combines a high core count, strong per-core speed, a large cache, and wide DDR5 memory bandwidth in a single efficient CPU, then backs it with ample fast storage for heavy datasets. When you want modern, high-core CPU performance with room for large transient data, SC58 is the choice.

It is the modern high-core, high-storage single-socket tier in our range: current-generation EPYC compute, exceptional storage capacity, and a clear path to higher-memory or GPU nodes when your jobs demand it.

Specifications

SC58 uses a single AMD EPYC 9454P: 48 modern Zen 4 cores at up to 3.8 GHz, with 256 MB of L3 cache and the wide 12-channel DDR5 bandwidth and PCIe 5.0 connectivity of the Genoa platform — a strong mix of core count, clock speed, and cache. Behind it, 128 GB of RAM holds large meshes, and two 3.75 TB NVMe datacenter SSDs give you 7.5 TB of high-speed storage for case loading, data writes, and autosaves.

What's included with SC58

Every SC58 rental comes with extras to help you get the most from it:

• A comprehensive CFD course, free — a full training course to sharpen your simulation skills, included at no extra cost.

• One month of Claude AI Premium — AI assistance to support your engineering, scripting, and problem-solving.

• One hour of free CFD consultation — direct time with our CFD engineers to help set up, troubleshoot, or optimize your case.

These come standard with the node — practical support alongside the compute.

What this node is built for

SC58 is the modern high-core, high-storage single-socket tier in our range. It suits:

• Large meshes solved fast — 48 modern cores at up to 3.8 GHz spread the work for a strong, efficient speed-up.

• I/O-heavy transient runs — 7.5 TB of fast NVMe absorbs frequent timestep writes, long run histories, and large datasets.

• Design iteration and parameter sweeps — high core count and per-core speed process variants quickly.

• Steady and transient runs that fit in 128 GB — wherever solve throughput and fast storage are the priority.

With 48 Zen 4 cores and a large 256 MB cache, Fluent partitions your mesh across all of them for a strong parallel speed-up, while wide DDR5 bandwidth keeps the cores fed and 7.5 TB of NVMe keeps data flowing.

Cores vs. memory: choosing SC58

SC58's headline is modern cores and storage in an efficient single-socket design. In CFD, cores determine how fast a case solves, while memory sets the largest mesh you can run — roughly 1 GB of RAM per million cells for a typical steady, single-phase case. With 128 GB, SC58 is matched to large meshes solved at high speed, with exceptional storage headroom for the data they produce.

• Your meshes have grown larger than 128 GB allows? Ask us about our higher-memory and 1 TB nodes.

• Want GPU acceleration instead of pure CPU scale? Our GPU tiers (GP1, GP2) run Fluent's native GPU solver.

• Need multi-socket core counts? See SC62 (48 cores, dual Xeon) or SC63 (96 cores, quad Xeon).

Tell us your cell count and physics, and we'll match you to the tier that fits. High core counts pay off most when a case is large enough to partition efficiently — we'll help you confirm SC58 is the right call.

Fast NVMe storage

The two 3.75 TB NVMe datacenter SSDs give you 7.5 TB of high-speed storage — and NVMe delivers markedly faster read/write than SATA. Loading large geometries and case files, writing solution data, and handling frequent autosaves all run quickly, so a fast solve is never held up by slow disk I/O. The combination of speed and large capacity makes SC58 especially well suited to long transient simulations, which write data at every timestep and can produce very large datasets.

How parallel solving works on this node

When you run Fluent in parallel, the solver partitions your mesh across all 48 cores (using algorithms such as METIS), each core solving its share of cells and exchanging boundary data each iteration via MPI. On a single-socket node, that communication runs entirely on-chip rather than across sockets or a network, keeping parallel overhead low. For large cases that fit in 128 GB and partition well, those 48 modern Zen 4 cores deliver a strong speed-up.

Why rent instead of buy

For modern, high-core CPU solving with plenty of fast storage, SC58 gives you a current-generation 48-core EPYC processor — plus a free course, a month of Claude AI Premium, and a consultation hour — with an easy step to a higher-memory or GPU-accelerated node when your needs change.

How it works — you're in full control

SC58 is yours to drive directly. You connect to the node over a secure remote desktop connection and run everything yourself, exactly as you would on a local workstation:

1. Connect via remote desktop — you get full remote access to the SC58 node.

2. Set up your simulation — load your geometry and case, configure your solver settings, and run ANSYS Fluent with all 48 cores at your command.

3. Run and monitor in real time — start, pause, adjust, and watch the solution as it progresses, with complete control throughout.

4. Keep your results — post-process on the node or download your solution and data files whenever you're ready.

You have full authority over the node for the duration of your rental: we provide the hardware and the support, and you run the simulations your way.

Frequently asked questions

What makes SC58 fast?
The EPYC 9454P combines 48 modern Zen 4 cores at up to 3.8 GHz with a large 256 MB L3 cache and wide DDR5 bandwidth — a strong mix of core count, clock speed, and cache that delivers efficient parallel solve performance.

How is SC58 different from SC60?
Both are single-socket EPYC nodes. SC60 uses an older 32-core processor; SC58 steps up to a modern 48-core Zen 4 CPU and far larger NVMe storage (7.5 TB), for faster solves and more room for transient data.

How large a mesh can it handle?
With 128 GB of RAM, plan for large meshes — into the tens of millions of cells for simpler steady single-phase cases, fewer for transient or multiphase physics (about 1 GB of RAM per million cells is a good starting estimate). Send us your case for a precise answer.

Why so much storage?
Long transient and multiphase simulations write data frequently and produce large files. The 7.5 TB of fast NVMe gives you room to keep extensive timestep data, autosaves, and results on high-speed storage without running out of space.

Is my data kept confidential?
Yes. Your geometry, case files, and results stay private to you, treated as strictly confidential — and because you run everything yourself over remote desktop, your work stays under your control throughout.
