Turnkey Parallel Computing Solutions For

FLUENT has teamed with Soho Corporation, an HP Technical Computing Channel Partner, to offer customers a fully integrated and tested Linux cluster computer system for cost-effective parallel computing with FLUENT.

Get the Parallel Advantage

Using parallel computing, you can dramatically reduce the turnaround time for your FLUENT simulations. Running on a cluster of computers, you’ll be looking at results in a fraction of the time you’d wait on a single CPU system. Check our benchmarks to see what you can expect.

Parallel processing also allows you to analyze more complex, larger models, giving you the power to include details that may be critical to a full understanding of your problem. Running on a cluster, using the memory distributed across a group of machines, you’ll be able to run models that include millions of mesh elements.

Let us help you put FLUENT’s outstanding parallel speedup to work for your organization.
 

The Price is Right

Not long ago, parallel computing implied a large investment in computing hardware. Today, clusters of Intel-based computers are a low-cost, high-performance computing option for FLUENT users. Clusters running FLUENT under Linux offer great scaling and reliability and are a sound business investment.

Low Risk, Low Hassle

Soho Corporation has worked with FLUENT to fully understand the unique requirements of running Fluent on a Linux cluster. Your system will come fully configured for FLUENT - including operating system, cluster-enhancing applications, drivers and utilities - all tested and validated using FLUENT benchmarks. You’ll get a complete solution that works and the long-term security of Soho’s expertise and technical support.

About Soho

From our inception in 1996 Soho Corporation’s only business has been support and implementation relating to the infrastructure requirements of technical computing applications.  This unique commitment and experience with various computer aided engineering applications make Soho a valuable resource to the technical computing community. 

We enable you to maximize the return on your investment in the FLUENT CFD technologies.  This is accomplished by partnering with FLUENT, in conjunction with the major computer hardware and networking manufacturers in the technical computing arena.   The fruits of these partnerships are then channeled and managed by the Soho pre-sales, post-implementation and technical teams into quantifiable and substantial increases in the ROI received on your FLUENT investment.   

Cluster Design and Deployment

• The FLUENT cluster, as implemented by Soho Corporation, presents no additional burden on your corporate IT staff than would the addition of a new engineering server.
• The FLUENT cluster is a singular device on the network.
• Clustering hardware, operating systems, cluster-enhancing applications, drivers and utilities are fully integrated in the deployed design, thereby mitigating the risk and minimizing the impact on your IT staff.
• Your cluster is staged, loaded, tuned and prepared at Soho’s facility. FLUENT standard benchmarks are completed on your cluster before shipment.
• Soho provides on-site installation to implement the cluster within your computing environment. Soho runs the FLUENT benchmarks a second time before you sign-off on the project. 
• Post-implementation, Soho will become a single point of contact for cluster infrastructure support management. Soho gives you a single point of contact, backed by vendor support contracts from HP, Red Hat and others.
• FLUENT remains your direct contact for technical support on your CFD work
