Computational Fluid Dynamics is a time-consuming and performance-intensive activity. The large global shared-memory of architecture of the SGI® Altix® product line delivers the scalability and performance required of complex physical modeling that includes multi-phase flows, chemistry, combustion, and spray. The SGI® Altix® XE servers deliver unmatched memory bandwidth for cluster performance and superior configuration flexibility for both capacity and capability. The SGI Altix and Altix XE servers running on industry standard Linux® operating systems dominate real-world application tests and provide options for complex simultions. SGI® InfiniteStorage technology delivers optimal efficiency for storing, organizing, accessing and managing data. Combining these computing and storage technologies, SGI® Solutions for CSM enable design engineers and analysis professionals to deliver superior product design more quickly by providing:

• Capability to do more complex analyses on a greater variety of fluid flow problems
• Dramatic speed up in application run time
• Optimized performance of CFD software applications
• Access to critical data where and when it is needed, so the product development team can focus on creativity and innovation-not data management
