In July–August 2025, I collaborated with teams at Altair, Microsoft, and NVIDIA to document a comprehensive benchmark campaign on Microsoft Azure. The campaign exercised multiple GPU-accelerated Altair solvers (available via Altair One®) on Azure instances equipped with NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPUs.
This was one of our most extensive efforts to date: 20 distinct tests across 14 models, each evaluated with varying GPU counts and across both GPU generations. The findings are distilled into four assets (now at various stages of publication):
- Infographic – Unlocking Next Generation Simulation with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Altair.
- Blog post – published on Altair Partner Perspectives.
- Solution brief – describing the benefits of running Altair GPU-accelerated CFD solvers with Altair One in the Azure Cloud.
- Whitepaper – describing Altair One, Azure accelerated cloud instances, and the various benchmarks run.
