Exa announced the release of PowerFLOW 4.3c with support for the Cray XE6  line of supercomputers. This newest release of PowerFLOW allows customers to minimize their simulation turnaround time by scaling to a larger number of cores than any other platform.

Using a benchmark representative of a typical automotive case, PowerFLOW simulations running on a Cray XE6 system achieved scaling efficiencies of 82 percent on 960 cores, 72 percent on 1,920 cores, and 62 percent on 3,456 cores -- all relative to a 96-core baseline run.
