Turnkey GPU CFD Supercomputer
Millennium M1 CFD Supercomputer
The industry's first turnkey CFD solution combining Cadence Fidelity solvers and high-performance GPUs. LES turnaround in hours, not days — up to 100× design impact, near-linear scaling.
Overview
High-Fidelity CFD, Day-Long Turnaround
Traditional CFD solver and compute limits have kept high-fidelity simulation out of mainstream design loops. The Millennium M1 overcomes both — pairing best-in-class GPUs with resident Cadence Fidelity CFD solvers (including the Charles Solver for LES) on a scalable HPC architecture.
Available in the cloud or on-premises. The first product in the Millennium Enterprise Multiphysics Platform.
How It Works
A GPU-Native CFD Stack
GPU-Resident, End-to-End
M1 code runs natively on GPUs in its entirety — not the usual CPU-to-GPU snippet offload-and-return.
Massively Scalable
Extensible architecture; massively scalable solver with near-linear scaling across multiple GPU nodes.
Stackable Compute Nodes
Stackable nodes scale with the application — fastest turnaround at any project size.
Fast Interconnect
Extremely fast interconnections between GPUs — designed for low-latency LES at scale.
Optimised CFD Software
Enhanced Cadence high-fidelity CFD stack tuned for GPU acceleration and generative AI.
Cloud or On-Premise
Turnkey appliance you can deploy locally — or consume as a cloud service.
Key Features
What M1 Delivers
100×
Design impact
Up to 100× design impact through GPU acceleration.
88%
Performance scaling
Near-linear scaling — up to 88% performance efficiency.
5,000+
GPUs supported
Scales across racks and rows out to 5,000 GPUs and beyond.
150M
Core-hours / year (32 GPUs)
A single rack of 32 GPUs delivers ~150M core-hours/year — equivalent to a typical CPU CFD cluster.
