The AI wave is coming, Cadence Fidelity software platform accelerates CFD revolution
Preface
The NVIDIA GTC23 Developer Conference officially opened recently. On March 21, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang delivered a keynote speech. At the meeting, he used the Cadence CFD software platform as an example to highlight some solutions that can solve new challenges and open up new markets. Acceleration library, CFD is used by the automotive and aerospace industries for turbulence and aerodynamic simulations, and by the electronics industry for thermal management design.
“The figure above shows the new CFD solver accelerated by CUDA. At the same system cost, the throughput of NVIDIA A100 is 9 times that of the CPU server, or, at the same simulation throughput, NVIDIA’s cost is reduced by 9 times and can "Cadence and other advanced CFD solvers now use CUDA acceleration. Globally, industrial CAE uses nearly 100 billion CPU core hours to accelerate calculations, " said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. It’s the best way to reduce power consumption, achieve sustainability and net zero emissions.”
At this GTC conference, Ben Gu, Vice President of Cadence Multiphysics System Analysis and R&D, was also invited to give a speech titled "Optimizing Formula One with Fidelity" and shared about The next step in high-fidelity simulation and explains how Cadence is shaking up automotive CFD design with a GPU-accelerated CFD design flow.
Ben Gu said:
"We need High-Fidelity simulation to analyze and optimize complex automotive designs. In the future, the fastest and most efficient race car designs will be integrated with intelligence, automation and scale to achieve results previously unachievable in traditional design environments. Due to a Formula 1 rules limit the number of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculation cycles that an F1 team can apply to car design, so the computational throughput of today's CFD solutions is quickly becoming a factor in whether an F1 team can finish on the podium. The essential."
"Although F1 cannot benefit from the application of GPUs due to rule restrictions, such a change has begun to affect competition in other industries, such as the automotive industry and other industrial fields. Using CPUs, simulations take days or even weeks, and this The turnaround time is impractical for the design goals. Using the GPU, the same simulation can be completed in 2-5 hours, and the results can be obtained with higher accuracy. This unprecedented speed and accuracy allow for deep exploration of the optimal design. It’s possible. It’s a fundamental game-changer for CFD.”
