Run FDS in the Cloud with Sabalcore HPC

Sabalcore hosts the popular FDS software as part of our High Performance Computing Cloud for many years. Our HPC Cloud allows fire engineers to easily configure and run FDS simulations in the cloud. Dramatically increase processing power and complete your simulations quickly. In some cases, 10x faster results.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The software solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.

  • Suitable for small to very large projects and on going production
  • Run very large simulations using 100’s of cores
  • 1:1 cpu-core to mesh
  • Run multiple simulations concurrently
  • Download results in minutes rather than hours with our proprietary file transfer client.
  • Pay-as-you-go pricing model
  • Secure, private, confidential
  • Robust scripting capabilities for automation, reporting, and more.

PyroSim

It’s easy for PyroSim users to run their simulations. You can actively control, monitor, and access all the output files of your simulation in real-time using our built-in remote desktop capability, similar to running FDS through Pyrosim on your desktop or workstation. You can also run Smokeview. 

After you create the model in PyroSim simply export the .fds file(s) and copy it to your Sabalcore account. We provide everything you need to transfer the file(s). Next, set up your job using the FDS launcher by choose the processor and RAM configuration. The tool automatically provides ideal configurations and generates the job configuration. This can also be modified by the user. Submit the job for processing. When the job completes, zip and download all the output very fast using our proprietary file transfer GFT.

Visualize in the Cloud

With our built-in remote desktop, you have the ability to visualize your models in real-time, as the model is processing. It’s like having you own full-featured workstation in the Cloud. Run Smokeview or any other graphical tool such as spreadsheets and documents.

“First of all let me give you the feedback about the experience with Sabalcore services: simply excellent. The performance is really impressive [and is] far better than I was expecting.”

 

Carlos C. Structural and Civil Engineering

“I ran my tests and the results were amazing. I got my code to run 3 times faster that what I get with our university cluster. The help I got was also very nice. [Sabalcore] did a very good job compiling the code for me.”

Wiktor W., Rockseis, Norway

“I am personally very happy with the level of service provided, as you have given us everything we requested, and more. I think that without your service we would have had to either alter our timelines or validation procedures, and I am glad we did not have to do so.”

Stephen D., MARS Petcare, United Kingdom

“I just wanted to let you know that I sincerely appreciate fantastic support we are getting from you and your company. This is easily one of the best investments we’ve made–I get cluster access without the hassle of taking care of one myself. Y’all do a great job… You’re an excellent ‘secret weapon’ in the cost savings game!”

J.S. Engineer, Huntsville Alabama

“Just a quick notes to personally thank you for the assistance and great service you’ve and the rest of the SABALCORE have provided our firm so far. …we certainly couldn’t have been able to proceed this far in developing [our product] without your help. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”

John R. D., Lead Engineer, Santa Fe New Mexico

“I am VERY impressed so far by your service. I had the trial account details in my inbox this morning, and within 2 hours had ported one of our codes onto your platform and run an initial test job. I spent a lot of time last year trying the compute-on-demand services ‘offered’ by some of your competition. With one of them it took [a] month to sort out all the technical problems of porting our code.”
