SC60
Unmatched Performance
Built for demanding CFD simulations and computational workloads
Processor
The brain of your simulation power
What This Means for Your Simulations
32 Cores means this server can perform
32 calculations simultaneously.
Why this matters: CFD simulations divide your fluid domain into millions of
cells. Each core can solve equations for different cells at the same time - more cores =
dramatically faster solutions. A simulation that takes 24 hours on a 4-core laptop could
finish in 3-4 hours with 32 cores.
Perfect for: Large-scale simulations with 10+ million cells, transient
analyses, turbulence modeling, multi-phase flows, and running multiple design studies in
parallel.
The 3.4 GHz clock speed determines how fast each
core performs individual calculations - higher means faster processing for mesh generation,
solving, and post-processing.
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.
DDR5 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 960 GB, giving you a total
storage capacity of 1.88 TB.
NVMe SSD storage provides extremely fast
read/write speeds for your simulation files and results.
NVMe is the fastest storage technology available - up to 5-10x faster than traditional
SSDs for reading/writing large result files.
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
⚙️ AMD EPYC 7401P CFD Node (Germany): Cost-Effective Enterprise Stability for ANSYS Fluent
Looking for EU-hosted, ECC-reliable compute that scales beyond desktop limits without the cost/complexity of dual-socket servers? Our AMD EPYC™ 7401P single-socket platform in Germany delivers the parallel throughput and memory bandwidth required for serious CFD and multiphysics—ideal for researchers, small engineering teams, and teaching labs.
💻 High-Performance Configuration
Key Specifications
CPU: AMD EPYC™ 7401P (single-socket, many-core server processor)
Memory: 128 GB DDR4 ECC (error-correcting reliability for long runs)
Storage: 2 × 960 GB Datacenter SSD (recommended RAID 1 mirror for uptime)
Location: Germany (EU data residency, low latency across DACH & EU)
Why EPYC 7401P? The P-series EPYC parts are purpose-built for single-socket efficiency—high core counts, strong memory bandwidth, and simplified licensing/operations. You get server-class stability and 24/7 duty-cycle readiness at an approachable cost.
Straight talk: This is a cost-efficient enterprise node—perfect for mid-scale CFD, parametric sweeps, batch queues, and teaching. For extremely large meshes or strict GPU acceleration, consider pairing with a GPU node or stepping up to newer EPYC/dual-socket options.
🚀 Built for Real-World CFD & Multiphysics
Designed to handle multi-million-element models with disciplined meshing and numerics:
Turbulence: RANS (k-ε, k-ω SST), transition, hybrid RANS-LES/DES “starts”
Multiphase & reacting: VOF/Eulerian, cavitation, sprays, combustion
Thermal / CHT: Conjugate heat transfer with detailed materials/BCs
Transient: Time-accurate aero/thermal events and start-up/shut-down cycles
Design exploration: DOE, parametric sweeps, response surfaces
EU-hosted in Germany, this node supports projects that require European data residency and low-latency access across DACH, Benelux, and broader EU networks.
🧠 Architecture Advantages (End-to-End Throughput)
Single-socket simplicity: Avoids dual-socket NUMA penalties while maintaining high core density
ECC DDR4 bandwidth: Stable convergence on dense regions and tighter CFL limits
Datacenter SSDs (RAID 1): Fast, reliable checkpoints and safe long-run restarts
Server-grade reliability: Predictable performance for weeks-long transients and batch queues
🔧 Practical CFD Tuning Tips (Quick Wins)
Partitioning: Start around 0.8–1.2M cells per process, then retune after a pilot run
Order strategy: Use first-order to stabilize; switch to second-order for accuracy
CFL ramps & dual-time stepping: Safer, faster transient progress with fewer resets
Focused refinement: Target shear layers, recirculation zones, shocks, thermal gradients
Checkpoint cadence: Frequent autosaves protect multi-day campaigns and ease restarts
💼 Ideal Use Cases
Aerospace & automotive: external aero, underhood/underbody cooling, aero-thermal coupling
Energy & process: burners/combustors, heat exchangers, turbomachinery stages
Built environment & HVAC: ventilation, thermal comfort, wind studies
Academia & research labs: teaching clusters, student theses, parametric DOE pipelines
🏁 Final Thoughts
The AMD EPYC 7401P CFD node (Germany) offers a cost-effective, ECC-reliable, EU-resident compute platform for ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+. With 128 GB DDR4 ECC and datacenter SSD mirroring, it’s a dependable backbone for mid-scale CFD, multiphysics, and continuous batch workloads—without the operational overhead of dual-socket infrastructure.
