Both systems are powered by AMD GPUs—Frontier is equipped with 9,408 AMD EPYC processors and 37,632 AMD Instinct MI250X accelerators, while El Capitan features 44,544 of the newer AMD Instinct MI300A accelerators.

Given the success with this simulation, Ansys has hailed AMD’s Instinct GPUs for cutting the simulation time. According to the company, this milestone could dramatically speed up the design iterations and deliver more accurate performance forecasts for industrial systems.
