HPC System
-
High-Performance Computing (HPC) system for numerical study of turbomachine. The system is located in a co-location and thus provides high computing performance. It supports intra-node parallel computing for complex analysis. RANS simulation for full annulus or URANS simulation for single annulus have been calculated. In addition to the cluster system, there are several CPU/GPU workstations for other calculation, machine learning, and deep learning.
