PS/day normalized as 1.0 to Intel® Xeon® processor X3380
Intel® Xeon® processor X3380 (3.16GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB, 45nm) Intel® Xeon® processor X3470 (2.93GHz, 8MB L3, 45nm) Fluent* 12.0.16 of 12 workloads geomean 1.00 1.45 Benchmark description for Fluent*
Fluent is a commercial engineering application used to model computational fluid dynamics. The benchmark consists of 9 standard workloads organized into small, medium and large models. These comparisons use all but the largest of the models which does not fit into the 8GB of memory available on the platforms. The Rating, the default Fluent metric, was used in calculating the ratio of the platforms by taking a geometric mean of the 8 workload ratings measured.

LS-DYNA is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating complex real world problems, for use in various industries, including Automobile Design, Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Bioengineering. Benchmark data sets and cluster performance quotations are available from the independent web site www.topcrunch.org. The www.topcrunch.org benchmarks associated with structural dynamics (LS-DYNA) address domain decomposition, message passing, load balancing, and dynamic memory allocation in automotive crash safety analysis. The chart above shows single node benchmark performance comparisons of automotive crash simulation for single vehicle barrier crash, 3 vehicle rear end crash, and 2 vehicle head-on crash (neon_refined_revised, 3 vehicle collision, car2car).

Relative Performance
Higher is betterIntel® Xeon® processor X3380 (3.16GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB, 45nm) Intel® Xeon® processor X3470 (2.93GHz, 8MB L3, 45nm) LSDyna* mpp971 1.0 1.79 Benchmark description for Star-CD*
STAR-CD* provides a platform for industrial CFD simulation. Going beyond just a CFD code, the latest release, STAR-CD V4, introduces the capability to perform structural analysis calculations using a methodology based upon its CFD solver technology, a comprehensive solution for flow, thermal and stress simulation has been available in a single general-purpose commercial finite-volume code. STAR-CD V4 is fully polyhedra enabled and by using the latest polyhedra-solver technology, STAR-CD V4 delivers significant benefits in speed, robustness and usability. Workloads for Star-CD (A-class, C-class): The key workloads for Star-CD benchmark are A-Class and C-Class. The A-class (resp. C-class) workloads simulate the turbulent, steady-state flow around an A-Class (resp. C-class) Mercedes* car. Both workloads use the Conjugate Gradient Solver. A-class uses a trimmed hexahedral mesh made of 6 million cells while C-class uses a polyhedral mesh of 10 million cells.
Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit Intel® Performance Benchmark Limitations.
Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
64-bit Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® EM64T require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, OS, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel EM64T-enabled OS, BIOS, device drivers and applications may not be available. Check with your vendor for more information.
Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
