Liquid-cooled simulation cluster with coolant distribution unit

Engineering & Simulation

GPU acceleration for simulation, digital twins and design.

Engineering teams are moving CFD, FEA, rendering and digital-twin workloads onto GPUs — often alongside existing CPU HPC. Peregrine helps size, build and operate GPU infrastructure that fits those hybrid environments.

Infrastructure can be designed to support customer security, governance and compliance requirements. Use one service or all four.

Part 1 · Use cases

GPU workloads in engineering & simulation.

Liquid coolant lines and manifold on the rear of a GPU rack

Use case 01

CFD / FEA Acceleration

GPU-native solvers for fluid and structural analysis turn overnight runs into same-day iterations.

GPU nodes can join existing Slurm clusters so engineers submit jobs the way they do today.

GPU considerations

  • Memory: large meshes need high-memory GPUs
  • Interconnect: multi-node fabric for coupled solvers
  • Storage: high-throughput scratch
  • Data residency: design data stays in-house

Use case 02

Digital Twins

Real-time models of assets and processes combine simulation, sensor data and visualisation.

PCIe platforms with large memory suit twin rendering and inference.

GPU considerations

  • Memory: high for detailed twins
  • Interconnect: PCIe
  • Storage: time-series and asset data
  • Data residency: operational data onshore

Use case 03

Rendering & Visualisation

Design visualisation and media rendering are bursty and parallel.

On-demand capacity absorbs render peaks without idle hardware.

GPU considerations

  • Memory: scene dependent
  • Interconnect: single node
  • Storage: asset libraries
  • Data residency: as required

Use case 04

Batch Simulation & AI Surrogates

Parameter sweeps and ML surrogates trained to approximate simulations compress design-of-experiments cycles.

Quotas keep batch work from crowding out interactive engineering.

GPU considerations

  • Memory: moderate
  • Interconnect: single or multi-node
  • Storage: results archives
  • Data residency: as required

Infrastructure models: capital vs operating

Engineering firms often extend owned HPC with GPU nodes (capital) and use reserved or on-demand capacity (operating) for design-cycle peaks. Peregrine scopes both per engagement; no prices are published on this site.
