4 Dell EMC Ready Solution for HPC Digital Manufacturing—Dassault Systѐmes’ Simulia Abaqus Performance
1 Introduction
This technical white paper discusses the performance of Dassault Systѐmes’ Simulia Abaqus on the Dell
EMC Ready Solution for HPC Digital Manufacturing. This Dell EMC Ready Solution for HPC was designed
and configured specifically for Digital Manufacturing workloads, where Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
applications are critical for virtual product development. The Dell EMC Ready Solution for HPC Digital
Manufacturing uses a flexible building block approach to HPC system design, where individual building blocks
can be combined to build HPC systems which are optimized for customer specific workloads and use cases.
The Dell EMC Ready Solution for HPC Digital Manufacturing is one of many solutions in the Dell EMC HPC
solution portfolio. Please visit www.dellemc.com/hpc for a comprehensive overview of the available HPC
solutions offered by Dell EMC.
The architecture of the Dell EMC Ready Solution for HPC Digital Manufacturing and a description of the
building blocks are presented in Section 2. Section 3 describes the system configuration, software and
application versions, and the benchmark test cases that were used to measure and analyze the performance
of the Dell EMC HPC Ready Solution for HPC Digital Manufacturing. Section 4 presents benchmark
performance for Abaqus.
