Boxer: parallel, scalable - everywhere

 

Boxer 2.0 is parallel everywhere

  • parallel file I/O
  • parallel octree meshing
  • parallel topology discovery and geometry editing
  • parallel level-set solver
  • parallel hybrid-mesh generation from the core octree
  • parallel mesh quality control during body-conformal export
  • No serial bottlenecks
 

Not just multi-threaded, but distributed

  • benefits from machines with more than one CPU/core - but not limited to a single machine
  • can access shared and/or distributed memory resource simultaneously
 

Parallel and distributed means scalable:

  • can run on anything from 1 to 10,000+ nodes and/or CPUs
  • the licensing model of CFS is not simply per-node as with other vendors - users can run large parallel jobs without paying extra for every single new CPU deployed
