ANSYS Focus on IT Solutions
IT is the enabler for more effective use of engineering simulation.
High Fidelity Results
Simulation allows engineering to know, not guess but only if IT can deliver infrastructure suited for ever larger mega-simulations
Design Exploration / Optimization
Product integrity requirements drive automated execution of 100s of simulations, with important implications for the IT infrastructure
Average HPC infrastructure for
ANSYS in our largest customers is
well over 10,000 cores
and growing very fast

Always some improvement 5% to 10% well short of 30% or more clock
ratio ANSYS Fluent specific
Improves utilization of fixed number of licenses
Recommendation Use Xeon X5675 (3.06 GHz, 95
watt) Consider other parts of cluster for
further investment before choosing fastest clock

8 cores (quad core/processor)12 cores (6-cores/processor)
Decision point TURN TURBO Boost ON or OFF?
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it is operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits
More benefit when less cores are active the workloads are moderate
TURBO gives Quad-core slightly more boost than 6-core
In larger clusters, as the workload is spread over more nodes there are more opportunities for 6-core processors to achieve similar boost in performance as quad-core
Recommendation Turbo Boost should always be turned
on to get more performance

HT OFF (12 threads on 12 physical cores) HT ON (24 threads on 12 physical cores)
Decision point Use Hyper-Threading or NOT?
Intel Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology uses processor resources more efficiently, enabling two threads to run on each core App see twice the cores
HT improves ANSYS Fluent performance by a small %
Requires double the number of licenses Recommendation
If the license configuration permits HT should be used to improve
HW and SW utilization If the number of licenses is limited
HT is not an efficient utilization of the licenses and is not recommended (HT may turned on but is used by ANSYS Fluent)

Decision Point Use 2-socket or 4-socket systems?
2-socket based system use X5600 series up to maximum of 12 cores per system
4-socket systems use e7-8800 series up to a maximum of 40 cores per
system; good scalability 32 cores (one 4-socket system) give
performance equivalent to 24 cores (two 2-socket systems)
Recommendation If the application can run within a single
4-socket Use 4-socket based cluster No high-speed network is needed
Otherwise use clusters made out of 2-socket based system
High speed network needed

Decision Point Use quad-core or 6-core processors?
Processors come in Quad and Hex cores Quad core processors have higher per core
cache and memory bandwidth ANSYS Fluent runs 20% to 30% faster
on quad-core based systems Improves productivity of fixed
number of licenses Costs 50% more than 6-core based
systems for the same total core count Recommendation
If the primary goal is to improve productivity of licenses
Used quad-core based systems If the total cluster cost is a primary
consideration Use 6-core based systems
Fluent Rating = Number of Benchmark jobs that can be run in 24 hours

1066 MHz1333 MHz
Decision Point What it the most efficient memory config?
Faster memory improves performance of ANSYS Fluent about 10%
Xeon 5600 Series Processors/Memory can run at the maximum speed of 1333 MHz
Memory should be configured properly Otherwise the memory may run at slower
speeds of 1066 MHz or even at 800 MHz Recommendation
To operate at maximum speed all memory channels in both processors should be populated with equal amounts of memory
memory guidelines specify that total memory is in discrete amounts of 24 GB, 36 GB, 48 GB per node.
24 GB memory per node is sufficient

Several types of IB networks DDR, QDR, FDR so far, EDR next Bandwidth is the main differentiator
Some improvement in latency ANSYS Fluent is more sensitive to
latency than bandwidth Performance of FDR may not
be commensurate with its cost
ANSYS Fluent does not seem to be sensitive to blocking in Infiniband

Cluster Size (nodes)
Feasible Performance-Price Spectrum
Decision Point How to determine number of
nodes in the cluster? Depends on a number of factors:
Business value, budget Environment (space, power etc)
Cluster size can be highly scalable but not feasible due to total cost and other factors
Recommendation Determine the Feasible
Performance-Price Spectrum Eliminating some obvious
infeasible choices e.g. too big, too small,
does not fit in the existing data center
Conduct ROI Analysis on the promising candidates

2012 IBM Corporation
Decision Point Rack, Blade, High Density server?
ANSYS Fluent performance is not affected by what packaging you select
Total freedom to choose the right packaging based on other factors Data center environment Budget
A Recommendation For low entry point (one or two servers)
Use rack server Small and Medium
Use blade configuration Large
Use high density configuration
Capability Rack Blade High Density ANSYS Fluent Density (# servers/sq ft floor space)
Low Medium High Not a factor

Actual environmental costs and performance characteristics may vary by customer. Information concerning non-IBM products was obtained from a supplier of these products, published announcement material, or other publicly available sources and does not constitute an endorsement of such products by IBM. Sources for non-IBM list prices and performance numbers are taken from publicly available information, including vendor announcements and vendor worldwide homepages. IBM has not tested these products and cannot confirm the accuracy of performance, capability, or any other claims related to non-IBM products.

Such commitments are only made in IBM product announcements. The information is presented here to communicate IBM's current investment and development activities as a good faith effort to help with our customers' future planning. Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput or performance improvements equivalent to the ratios stated here. Prices are suggested U.S. list prices and are subject to change without notice. Starting price may not include a hard drive, operating system or other features.
