However, some simulations may have greater I/O demands, such as transient analysis. CFD applications typically scale well across multiple processor cores and servers, have modest memory capacity requirements, and typically perform minimal disk I/O while solving. The benchmarks reported here mainly use the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer features of STAR-CCM+. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a multiphysics software application used to simulate a wide range of products and designs under a variety of conditions. 7002 Series AMD EPYC System Configuration The BIOS configuration used for the benchmarking systems is shown in Table 3. The system configurations used for the performance benchmarking are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. All servers were populated with two processors and one DIMM per channel memory configuration.

Performance benchmarking was performed using dual-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with 70 series AMD EPYC processors.
