For years we have been using computational clusters to assist with time consuming numerical studies. These clusters have continued to grow in size and capabilities. Since 2014 we combine these computational clusters with our in-house software and have been seen as a numerical facility for a broad range of simulations, such as
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using our
ReFRESCO code, but also
time-domain simulations using our XMF framework.
The latest Atos-Bull cluster, called Marclus5, was purchased in 2018. It is factor 4 faster than MARCLUS 4. It has 9000 CPU cores and 50 TB RAM available for batch computations with a central storage of 2 PB.
