I did @officialBinotto's @ScuderiaFerrari SF71H in @FluidX3D #CFD on a supercomputer.
- 1s in real life @ 100km/h
- 20s 4K60 video (3x)
- 14h compute on 8x @AMDInstinct #MI200 64GB #GPU
- 144TB data visualized
What I found is absolutely wild. A #SimulationFriday #F1 thread: 🧵1/5
The @FluidX3D simulation was done at 10 billion voxel grid resolution (2152×4304×1076), over 217k time steps (1 second), at Re=3.75M (100km/h).
The fins on the front spoiler create a turbulent boundary layer and kick up it up onto the front wheels to reduce drag. 🧵2/5
The streamlined chassis guides airflow under the spoiler to create down force. The halo - one of the best additions to the sport in terms of safety - is rather aerodynamic.
Each frame of the video is 120GB, 144TB for 1201 frames. @FluidX3D renders the data directly in VRAM. 🧵3/5

The #MI250 is misleadingly marketed as "one chiplet GPU" with 13312C, 90TFLOPs & 128GB @ 3.2TB/s.

But it is not. The 2 GCDs are 2 separate GPUs with 64GB each, like a K80 dual-GPU but in a socket. One #GPU can't directly access the other's memory.

To use both GCDs, the software needs to be multi-GPU capable. For many algorithms this is very difficult and for some it is entirely infeasible. The desire for large unified memory is huge.
The #MI250 promises exactly that with "128GB", but delivers only half.

Two large #antitrust probes in the same screenshot that relate to #Genomics and #Bioinformatics
(1) Possible buyout of #ARM by #NVIDIA does have an effect on the #Bioinformatics field: many applications now are deployable on CPU/GPUs with #ARM and/or #NVIDIA chips on them. Some recent examples are:
(a) the Oxford @nanopore MinION Mk1c device, which originally was specced at Jetson TX2 ARM+Pascal GPU accelerators (ARM processor 6 cores, 256 Core GPU), 8 GB RAM (may have changed since then.
