Our Insights

Inductiva joined the 1st OpenFOAM HPC Challenge to test how cloud infrastructure stacks up against traditional HPC for large-scale CFD simulations. Running the DrivAer automotive benchmark, the team explored multiple hardware setups, hyperthreading choices, and domain decomposition strategies. The results? Inductiva’s flexible MPI clusters handled up to 768 partitions with impressive price-performance—even outperforming pricier hardware in some cases. For simulations below massive supercomputer scales, cloud HPC proves not only competitive but cost-effective, offering engineers and researchers agility without sacrificing speed. Curious how to fine-tune your OpenFOAM workloads in the cloud? Dive into the benchmarks and see what’s possible.
