"CERFACS conducted a benchmark test on Amazon EC2 Hpc7g instances using our compressible 3D solver software, AVBP, which is widely utilized in academia and the energy and aerospace industries. AVBP is the cutting edge of simulation software that facilitates a better understanding of complex combustion phenomena, safety prediction, and design. Hpc7g instances significantly improve performance, with 1.8x acceleration per core, compared to the previous-generation instances based on AWS Graviton. Moreover, these instances exhibit near-linear strong scaling acceleration up to 10 nodes, resulting in a 186% increase in efficiency. This remarkable enhancement in computational power and speed can significantly reduce simulation time and costs, making AVBP simulations more accessible and efficient for researchers and industry professionals alike."
