RADIOSS Common Automotive Applications

“According to IDC, less than 1% of
all codes scale above 10000 cores.
RADIOSS is one of these few codes,
and thanks to this collaboration
with Cray, we were able to verify
scalability of RADIOSS using
massive parallelism. Being able to
demonstrate such performance
level is crucial to promote HPC
adoption in the industry and I am
confident that our customers will
rapidly start running RADIOSS
using 1000 cores and beyond
for their industrial crash & safety
simulations.”
