Return to: Business NewsNor-Tech HPC Clusters Feature Cornelis Omni-Path; Offering Significant Advantages Over AlternativesMinneapolis, MN, October 18, 2025 -- Nor-Tech, a leading systems integrator of high-performance computing solutions, today announced benchmark results demonstrating compelling performance and value for engineering simulation workloads including Ansys Fluent 2024 R1 and Ansys LS-DYNA 12.2.2 on Cornelis Networks’ Omni-Path interconnects. In recent multi-node tests on AMD EPYC-based platforms, when compared with InfiniBand, Omni-Path delivered: - Up to 1.35x higher performance per dollar, reflecting both stronger scaling and more favorable adapter/switch/cable pricing. - Higher runs-per-hour, indicating strong parallel efficiency. Nor-Tech Executive Vice President Jeff Olson said, “With Cornelis Omni-Path, our Fluent and LS-DYNA clusters scale efficiently across nodes and keep total solution costs in check—so our clients can run more jobs, iterate designs faster and meet deadlines with confidence.” Nor-Tech builds and supports clusters based on the Cornelis CN5000 end-to-end portfolio, enabling large-scale CFD/FEA deployments with open-source, in-distro software and flexible air or liquid cooling. These fully integrated, turnkey clusters optimized for Ansys Fluent and LS-DYNA with Cornelis Omni-Path, include options for scaling to director-class switching as needs grow. In addition, users can accelerate throughput and reduce queue times with these clusters—translating directly into faster iteration cycles and lower cost-per-solve models for applications that include aerodynamics, combustion, automotive safety and more. Olson added, “Our engineering customers want two things: faster solves and better ROI. Our experience and these results show Nor-Tech’s Omni-Path integrated technology can deliver both.” To contact Nor-Tech call 952-808-1000 or visit https://www.nor-tech.com.
