Case Study: Benchmark Space Systems reduces simulation time by over 85% with Rescale

Benchmark Space Systems Cuts Simulation Time Over 85% with Rescale & AWS

Benchmark Space Systems, an aerospace company delivering in-space propulsion and OSAM solutions, was hitting compute limits with on-premises high-performance computing for CFD-driven R&D. To eliminate bottlenecks and get scalable, on-demand HPC, Benchmark turned to Rescale’s HPC automation platform deployed on AWS.

Rescale provided a turnkey cloud HPC solution—a single control plane that automates instance selection, resource configuration, and workflow management on AWS—so Benchmark could run full-fidelity simulations without manual infrastructure overhead. With Rescale, Benchmark cut CFD runtimes from eight hours to one hour (over an 85% reduction), dramatically sped up iteration cycles, improved cost and resource utilization, and freed engineers to focus on mission-critical design and program growth.
