Optimizing Sun HPC Hardware for ANSYS FLUENT
Guidelines for IT Administrators 
The Sun BluePrints article “Sun Business Ready HPC for ANSYS FLUENT: Configuration guidelines for Optimizing ANSYS FLUENT Performance” by William Aiken explores the parameters to be considered when defining a processing configuration for ANSYS FLUENT. The number of cores (independent computing elements), amount of memory, and interconnect options are discussed. For situations where a significant amount of file I/O will occur, an overview of parallel and serial file system operations and storage subsystems is also provided.
