AREVA makes a Breakthrough in Nuclear Power Plant Simulation for Optimal Safety


Some High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads rely on large data sets and complex calculations that are not easily distributed across large numbers of smaller servers. Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series-based servers and their large shared memory capabilities are ideal for these demanding applications. This super HPC node delivers the necessary compute power, large memory capacity and memory bandwidth performance to solve big science faster
Challenge
AREVA, world leader in the energy sector, has experimented a new computational method for the upper internals of nuclear reactors. ESI’s SYSTUS solvers running on Intel’s newest HPC server can simulate models of nuclear components 10 times larger than previously and 4 times faster, with greater precision.
AREVA recognizes the unmatched computing performances and reliability of SYSTUS for the design, analysis and components assessment in compliance with nuclear regulations.
