Nor-Tech HPC Clusters Feature Cornelis Omni-Path Offering Significant Advantages Over Alternatives


(MENAFN- Market Press Release) October 18, 2025 5:05 am - Up to 27% Better Scaling and 1.35X Higher Performance-per-Dollar.

Minneapolis, MN -- 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.”
