Designed and tested through multi-vendor cooperation between NVIDIA and its system and

ISV partners, NVIDIA EGX™ Server provides a trusted environment for Simulation

Engineers/Aerodynamicists/Analysts to run overnight simulations for the Manufacturing &

Design, Architecture, Engineering & Construction industries.

1.1 NVIDIA EGX SERVER OVERVIEW

Introduction:

Product Designs are increasingly complex making design validation and verification difficult

with engineering simulations. Simulation models for such designs tend to be big as they need

to be accurate. This leads to cost-prohibitive, time-consuming simulations. To perform more

simulations in less time and to try out many product design ideas, one needs a powerful

computer hardware to increase the engineering productivity by accelerating the engineering

simulation throughput. NVIDIA EGX Server is a validated solution that brings GPU-accelerated

power and performance to deliver the most efficient end-to-end design simulation solution,

from interactive sessions in the desktop to batch simulation in the data center.

Audience:

The audience for this document include, but not limited to: Sales Engineers, Field Consultants,

Professional Services, Partner Engineers, IT Managers and Customers who wish to take

advantage of an appliance that is built and optimized to deliver on simulation workflows.

NVIDIA EGX Server is a highly configurable, partner-validated reference design that combines

NVIDIA Quadro RTX™ A6000, A40, RTX™ 8000, RTX™ 6000 GPUs with NVIDIA virtual GPU

software and leading third-party applications to deliver exceptional compute power in a

validated system.

NVIDIA EGX Server for Bare Metal Compute with Altair ultraFluidX™ 2019 is a reference design

comprised of (a) NVIDIA Quadro RTX A6000, A40, RTX 8000 or RTX 6000 graphics cards; (b)

Altair ultraFluidX 2019 CFD solver software; and a (c) Qualified OEM server system. Combined,

this validated solution provides unprecedented rendering and compute performance at a

fraction of the cost, space, and power consumption of traditional CPU-based simulation

nodes.

Built on the NVIDIA Ampere™ architecture, the NVIDIA® Quadro RTX™ A6000 and NVIDIA®

A40, combine 48GB of graphics memory with the latest generation RT Cores, Tensor Cores,

and NVIDIA Ampere architecture CUDA® cores for unprecedented graphics, rendering, and AI

performance. Additional support for a range of commercially available remote access

software means you can access the power of your Quadro desktop workstation from

anywhere. Achieve breakthrough innovations with the world's most powerful graphics

solution

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 and RTX 6000, powered by the NVIDIA Turing™ architecture and the

NVIDIA RTX platform, brings the most significant advancement in computer graphics in over a

decade to professional workflows. Not only can Designers and artists now wield the power of

hardware-accelerated ray tracing, deep learning, and advanced shading to dramatically boost

productivity and create amazing content faster than ever before, Simulation Engineers, and

Fluid Dynamicists can also benefit from fast performance single precision GPU computing.

Altair ultraFluidX is a simulation tool for ultra-fast prediction of the aerodynamic properties of

passenger and heavy-duty vehicles as well as for the evaluation of building and environmental

aerodynamics. Its cutting-edge technology is optimized for GPUs to deliver unbeatable

performance and to allow for overnight simulations of complex cases on a single server. With

ultraFluidX, the Lattice Boltzmann Method is a perfect fit for massively parallel architectures

like GPUs and sets the stage for unprecedented turnaround times. Overnight runs on single

servers become possible by utilizing state-of-the-art GPU optimized algorithms, while

delivering the fidelity of a transient LES aerodynamics simulation. Conventional simulation

approaches need thousands of CPU cores to achieve the turnaround times of ultraFluidX.

GPU-based solution increases throughput while reducing hardware and energy cost.

EGX Servers, built by our OEM Partners, undergo NVIDIA’s Qualification test suite. Among

systems that qualify as an EGX Server there is a subset that has gone through additional

testing and validation for Altair ultraFluidX workload. These EGX Server Validated systems

capture best practices from NVIDIA and its ecosystem partners.

Configurations for the Validated EGX Servers are listed in the below segment.
