Performance results for the Ansys Mechanical solver using multiple servers are shown in Figure 8. The results are plotted relative to the benchmark performance using a single server. Each data point on the graph records the performance of the specific benchmark dataset using the number of servers marked on the x-axis relative to the single-server result.
The standard benchmark set being used for this testing is primarily intended for single-server benchmarks. As such, some of the benchmark cases do not scale well beyond two nodes. However, the results also show that some of the cases do scale to four nodes, which demonstrates that the scalability performance is highly dependent on the specific use case.
