OpenFOAM Workload Profiles

The following profiles run customer-representative or benchmarking scenarios using the OpenFOAM workload.

PERF-OPENFOAM.json​

Runs the OpenFOAM workload which measures performance in terms of iterations per minute.

  • Workload Profile

  • Supported Platform/Architectures

    • linux-x64
    • linux-arm64

  • Dependencies
    The dependencies defined in the 'Dependencies' section of the profile itself are required in order to run the workload operations effectively.

    • Internet connection.

    Additional information on components that exist within the 'Dependencies' section of the profile can be found in the following locations:

  • Scenarios
    The following scenarios are covered by this workload profile.

    • 'airFoil2D' simulation using simpleFoam solver.
    • 'elbow' simulation using icoFoam solver.
    • 'lockExchange' simulation using twoLiquidMixingFoamSolver.
    • 'motorBike' simulation using simpleFoam solver (on linux-x64 systems only).
    • 'pitzDaily' simulation using simpleFoam solver.

  • Profile Parameters
    The following parameters can be optionally supplied on the command line to modify the behaviors of the workload.

    ParameterPurposeDefault Value
    IterationsOptional. Number of iterations for which particular simulation will be run.500

  • Profile Runtimes
    See the 'Metadata' section of the profile for estimated runtimes. These timings represent the length of time required to run a single round of profile actions. These timings can be used to determine minimum required runtimes for the Virtual Client in order to get results. These are often estimates based on the number of system cores.

  • Usage Examples
    The following section provides a few basic examples of how to use the workload profile.

    ./VirtualClient --profile=PERF-OPENFOAM.json --system=Demo --timeout=1440 --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}"
    ./VirtualClient --profile=PERF-OPENFOAM.json --system=Demo --timeout=1440 --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}" --parameters=Iterations=10
    ./VirtualClient --profile=PERF-OPENFOAM.json --system=Demo --timeout=1440 --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}" --scenarios=airFoil2D,elbow,motorBike
