ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
Metacomp Technologies is a leading provider of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and other analytical software tools for major aerospace, defense, and automobile manufacturers as well as other companies that require complex modeling during research and development. Their CFD++ application software is used in all manners of fluid flow analysis.
CHALLENGE
Computational application development and support is a complex and daunting task. The Company requires higher-performance 64-bit processing that offers stability and throughput not found with ordinary systems. In addition, the Company needed the ability to scale processor cores and memory without exceeding power, space, and cooling budgets.
SOLUTION
Working with PSSC Labs, Metacomp Technologies upgraded to PowerWulf Clusters and PowerServe servers based on the AMD Opteron™ multi core processor. Over the past several years PSSC Labs has delivered several different PowerWulf Clusters and very large PowerServe Quattro A4000 series servers offering many cores and massive amounts of memory in a single box. PSSC Labs intimate knowledge of CFD processing requirements and a long term relationship with Metacomp Technologies allows PSSC Labs to consistently keep Metacomp Technologies at the forefront of technology.
IMPACT
Metacomp Technologies array of PowerWulf Clusters and PowerServe servers enable the company to support even the largest and compute intensive applications. The systems offer quick turnarounds, lower power and cooling requirements. Metacomp Technologies' CFD ++ product is setting the pace in the CFD marketplace with its unique combination of accuracy, reliability and performance.
