The Cray CX1 deskside supercomputer is an ideal platform for office and departmental computing to support diverse multiphysics applications for complex engineering challenges — from computational fluid dynamics and crash simulation to finite element analysis and modeling. These applications support a diverse set of industries including aerospace and automotive, and the industrial design and manufacturing of medical devices, semiconductors, and consumer products.
"FieldView is the leading post-processing software tool to help CFD practitioners understand scientific and engineering data and communicate results. The affordable, easy-to-use Cray CX1 supercomputer will allow even small firms and workgroups to effectively address the large data bottleneck in HPC enabled CFD workflows as they post-process and visualize supercomputer-size data with FieldView."
Roger R. Rintala, Strategic Marketing Manager at Intelligent Light
"ANSYS is very pleased to be working with Cray on performance benchmarking of the new Cray CX1 supercomputer, which should be an excellent solution for our customers doing increasingly detailed and sophisticated engineering simulation. The engineered scalability of ANSYS technology enables users to see outstanding performance from the desktop all the way to high performance supercomputers such as the Cray CX1. Cray's focus on industry standards is consistent with our open strategy and makes this an affordable, easy-to-use solution that will help our users boost their productivity and bring superior products to market faster."
Chris Reid, vice president of marketing for ANSYS, Inc.
"SIMULIA, the Dassault Systèmes brand for realistic simulation, and Cray have collaborated closely for decades to keep the performance of Abaqus FEA software running on Cray supercomputers in the forefront of the HPC industry. The new, cost-effective Cray CX1 supercomputer provides HPC capabilities to a wider range of simulation users. The engineering community will now have access to the compute power needed to run large finite element analysis (FEA) and multiphysics engineering models quickly and affordably."
Matt Dunbar, SIMULIA’s Performance and Parallel Technology Area Leader
