Key features

• CFD solvers accelerated with AI / Artificial Intelligence
  (time to results significantly shorter & better speedup than with hardware accelerators)
• Augmentation of numerical solvers with complementary AI models
  (faster analysis, reduced cost of trial & error experiments, 100% compatible with existing tools)
• Solver-specific AI models for Digital Twin industrial scenarios
  (generalized AI models for different use cases, geometries, and input parameters’ values)
• Designed to scale up fast
  (solver-specific AI model within 2-4wks vs. 1-2yrs efforts for hardware adaptations)

Get results in minutes instead of hours

Now available for the chemical industry, reducing mixing simulations time from hours to minutes.

Example results for chemical mixing simulation

Typical steps to get started

1. CFD Solver selection: pick the one you’d like to accelerate
   Typical candidate: simulations that take too long
2. Setting the targets for AI Model(s)
   – typically, this turns into 60 mins. online meeting
   What level of acceleration do you expect?
   What is the accepted accuracy? Within 85-95%? Higher? Lower?
3. AI Model training
   Based on the above, byteLAKE will train the CFD Suite to accelerate your CFD Solver(s)
   CFD Suite will be 100% compatible with your workflow
   = no need for any changes in infrastructure or data formats/types

Licensing

1. CFD Suite standard license consists of 2 elements
   • One-time fee for CFD Suite calibration/training/generalization (family of use cases).
   • Annual license per company, giving access to the product incl. upgrades, and customer care/support for 12 months.
     NOTE: the goal is to train & generalize the CFD Suite’s AI models so that they can predict results across a family (or families) of use cases/geometries/parameters combination within a given phenomenon.
2. CFD Suite extended customization (optional)
   • In case you do not have or cannot generate the data for training, byteLAKE can offload your teams from this task and prepare the required simulations.
   • The cost is estimated case by case (one-time project fee).
3. CFD Suite integration (optional)
   • byteLAKE is working with a growing number of partners to ensure that CFD Suite is properly integrated or available as an add-on to leading CFD tools incl. open source.
   • Therefore, integration scenarios are discussed case by case.

Key takeaways

• CFD Suite accelerates time to results for conventional CFD solvers by a factor of up to 15x and keeps high accuracy (*).
• CFD Suite is an add-on to existing CFD tools and its integration is a straightforward process.
• CFD Suite is a scalable solution, and we observed a stable efficiency across cluster nodes.
• The inference process (prediction) is executed around 10x faster on CPUs vs. GPUs.

(*) Accuracy is configurable and depends on requirements.
