TCFD Parallel Scaling Benchmark
One of the most important features of any CFD code is its scalability. In other words, in modern CFD, it is critical for any CFD code to show a linear speedup with the increasing number of simulation cores.
Recently, we made a detailed study on TCFD® parallel scaling. The detailed study is available for download. The tested case was a Francis hydro turbine. The scaling results are amazing. Here are the key figures.
This study clearly proves that TCFD® has very high parallel scaling efficiency. For this reason, TCFD® users can fully benefit from the fact that TCFD® can be run on an unlimited number of processors (cores).
As you know, the TCFD® numerical solver is based on OpenFOAM®. This means that this study also proves that also standard OpenFOAM® has very high parallel scaling efficiency.
May you have any questions, please contact us.
