Parallel Scaling with AWS Elastic Fabric Adapter
For the C5 instances (5th generation C-series), AWS launched the C5 n variant, which provides network performance that delivers good parallel scaling on clusters of instances ( 70%-90% at 504 cores), running OpenFOAM applications. EC2 includes Compute Optimized instances (the C-series) for compute-intensive workloads. It produces CFD Direct From the Cloud™ (CFDDFC), a Marketplace Product for Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2), which includes a command line interface for simple management of CFDDFC instances, data transfer and running of OpenFOAM applications. CFD Direct From the Cloud™ĬFD Direct provides resources to run CFD on the cloud with OpenFOAM using Amazon Web Services (AWS). 100s, with fast networking to deliver good scalability. High performance computing (HPC) involves a larger number of cores, e.g. Computer clusters connect multiple processors to increase the number of available cores. 2-36, from a multi-core computer processor. Small parallel computations use multiple cores, e.g. OpenFOAM provides parallel computing through domain decomposition and an interface to software written to the message passing interface (MPI) standard, e.g. OpenFOAM is software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), maintained by a core team at CFD Direct and licensed free and open source by the OpenFOAM Foundation.
