PITTSBURGH, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Engineers are leveraging 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors to slash Ansys simulation
design time and expedite new product development
- The processor will be integrated into one of the world's
fastest exascale supercomputers
AMD and Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) are collaborating to help
engineering organizations across every industry spur new product
design by substantially improving modeling run times. Data centers
powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors are
enabling engineers to produce superior designs with unprecedented
speed — delivering high quality products to rapidly address new
market opportunities.
Engineers face increasing pressure to complete design cycle
times sooner. However, a large portion of engineering simulations
require overnight runs. The rising complexity of these simulation
workloads increases the need for high-performance computing (HPC)
resources, which increasingly rely on more performant parallel
processing and processor architecture capabilities. Through
internal testing, AMD demonstrated that its new EPYC 75F3
processors could reduce specific Ansys simulation runtimes by up to
a factor of two1.
From improving the energy efficiency of gas turbines with
Ansys's computational fluid dynamics software to enhancing
automotive safety with Ansys's explicit dynamics software, AMD EPYC
processors empower engineering teams to execute extreme scaling of
computationally demanding applications and rapidly design
leading-edge products. It is expected that Ansys simulations will
soon run even faster with the upcoming U.S. Department of Energy's
exascale supercomputers, which will be built by Hewlett Packard
Enterprise (HPE) and used by Frontier at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory and El Capitan at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, integrating AMD EPYC processors to produce
high-fidelity models. This will supply engineers with insights into
how products like autonomous vehicles, aircraft and medical devices
will virtually behave across millions of real-world operational
scenarios.
"3rd Gen AMD EPYC
processors provide leadership performance for HPC workloads and
we're incredibly excited to collaborate with HPE and Ansys to
enable the HPC industry to run a fantastic combination of HPC,
server infrastructure and simulation software to push the design
envelope further than before," said Forrest
Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Data
Center and Embedded Solutions Business Group at AMD. "Working
together, AMD and its technology partners are helping to drive HPC
to new heights that will help tackle problems that have previously
been beyond humanity's reach."
Modeling at exascale will empower engineers to analyze
considerably more data in less time and solve extremely
sophisticated design challenges.
"HPC and AI workloads are becoming more compute and
data-intensive, requiring higher performance and specialized
capabilities," said Bill Mannel,
vice president and general manager of HPC at HPE. "By combining
Ansys' software capabilities to target simulation goals with AMD's
powerful generation of EPYC processors, HPE is further optimizing
systems to support business and research missions to improve
accuracy in simulations and advance designs and models."
AMD EPYC processors' technological advancements enable
engineering organizations of all sizes to solve demanding
simulation workloads.
"AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors are helping Ansys customers
provide improved time to value, enabling the quick creation of
state-of-the-art designs that deliver fast answers and drive better
decisions," said Shane Emswiler,
senior vice president at Ansys. "We look forward to future
collaborations with AMD, which will explore how Ansys's
comprehensive suite of simulation solutions can be accelerated
using new AMD EPYC processor technologies. This will empower
engineering teams to accelerate innovation throughout their
enterprise to build next-generation products and win the race to
market."
On April 20th and
21st, HPE and AMD will present "The Supercomputer Comes
to Everyone: Leveraging Exascale Era Technology in Today's
Computing Environment" at Simulation World 2021. The presentation
will be available live and on demand. To register for Simulation

1 MLN-049A: Ansys®
LS-DYNA® version 2021.1 comparison based on AMD internal
testing as of 02/05/2021, measuring the time to run 3cars, test
case simulation (converted to jobs/day - higher is better).
Configurations using a server with 2x AMD EPYC 75F3 versus a server
with 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6258R utilizing 384 GB (12x 32 GB
DDR4-3200). The 3cars test case gain individually was 126% [~2.26x
the] per node or ~98% per core jobs/day performance. Results may
vary.
