Finally, the bars for #Intel hardware in the #FluidX3D #mermaid gantt performance chart are BLUE, as nature intended it.

Some experimentation with ```mermaid ...``` charts in #GitHub #markdown. Turns out you can hack the formatting on the quadrantChart to turn it into an xy-scatter plot with individual point size/coloring/labeling.🖖🧐
First plot is datasheet memory bandwidth vs. FP32 TFlops/s, second plot is #FluidX3D performance vs. bandwidth, for lots of #GPU/#CPU hardware.

Making progress on >top secret #FluidX3D update< but still a long way to go 🖖🧐

#SC25 in wonderful St. Louis was a blast! I showcased this FluidX3D-on-Arc-Pro workstation demo there, met so many friends, had exciting conversations with all sorts of #HPC enthusiasts. And I finally saw the Cardinals - the bright red/brown birds that became the symbol of the city's famous Baseball team. 🐦

This is Flynn's #Tron Light Cycle simulated in #FluidX3D #CFD, on 4x #Intel #ArcPro B60 #GPUs with 24GB VRAM each, at a massive 1.8 Billion grid cells resolution. 🖖🤠

That's one small step for the cow - one giant leap for #CFD! 🐄
The eagle-eyed among you will spot what I'm working on with #FluidX3D. 🖖🤠

Small but notable quality-of-life update for #FluidX3D - a function to calculate the center of mass for an imported .stl triangle mesh. This makes it a lot easier to set up for example 3-bladed rotors im #CFD.

8x AMD Instinct #MI355X (288GB @8TB/s) take back the lead over 8x Nvidia #B200 (180GB @8TB/s) in #FluidX3D #CFD, achieving 362k MLUPs/s (vs. 219k MLUPs/s). Thanks to Jon Stevens from Hot Aisle to run the benchmarks! 🖖😊

In single-GPU, both perform about the same, but in 8x #GPU config, MI355X is 65% faster. The difference comes from PCIe bandwidth - MI355X does 55GB/s, B200 only 14GB/s. #Nvidia leaves a lot of perf on the table by not exposing #NVLink P2P to #OpenCL.

#FluidX3D #CFD v3.5 upgrade is out, for free! I have implemented multi-#GPU support for the particles extension - now all model extensions are supported with multi-GPU. Also: faster particle force spreading, more documentation, updated FAQs, and an #OpenCL bug fix for ARM GPUs. Have fun everyone! 🖖😎
