Computational fluid dynamics performance using Fluent*
Computational fluid dynamics performance using Fluent*
PS/day normalized to 1.0 baseline of Intel® Xeon® processor X3480 performance
Benchmark description for Fluent* 13.0.0
Fluent* is a commercial engineering application used to model computational fluid dynamics. The benchmark consists of seven standard workloads, but the largest one of the models does not fit into the memory available on a single machine. The rating, the default Fluent metric, was used in calculating the ratio of the platforms by taking a geometric mean of the six workload ratings measured.
