AI-accelerated CFD simulations adapted for IPU platform show performance gains

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] · 2026-05-01 06:53

Researchers have adapted AI-accelerated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to run on Graphcore's Intelligence Processing Units (IPUs). The study focused on training machine learning models to predict simulation states, utilizing custom TensorFlow and the Poplar SDK for the IPU-POD16 platform. By employing the popdist library, they achieved up to a 34% speedup in data feeding, and scaling from 2 to 16 IPUs significantly increased throughput. AI
