Boost design and engineering productivity with HPE ProLiant Compute XD230 Systems and Intel Xeon 6 Processors with MRDIMM technology
Manufacturers rely on computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools to support a wide range of engineering simulations, including finite element analysis (FEA), dynamic analysis, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). HPE tested different configurations of HPE ProLiant Compute XD230 Systems powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Performance-cores (P-cores) across a range of standard models and solvers to evaluate their performance against servers powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors with MRDIMMS.
The results demonstrate substantial performance gains:
- 2.57x higher average throughput for Ansys® Fluent® across nine standard CFD models.
- 2.42x average throughput improvement across four CFD solvers and 24 models.
- 2.09x higher average throughput for compute-intensive FEA explicit (crash) simulations using Ansys® LS-DYNA®.
