Matnex Accelerates Novel Materials Discovery with 3.5× Faster Performance
Back to Technical ContentViridien helped Matnex achieve ~3.5× faster simulation performance, dramatically accelerating materials discovery and increasing R&D throughput. By scaling compute without disrupting existing workflows, Matnex can test more ideas, validate results sooner, and move from concept to insight faster. The result is a more agile, high-impact innovation engine—reducing complexity while maximizing scientific and business outcomes.
CHALLENGE
As demand for AI driven materials discovery grew, Matnex faced HPC performance and scalability limits that slowed innovation. Long simulation runtimes, highly variable workloads, and the overhead of managing on prem infrastructure reduced efficiency and constrained R&D throughput. The business needed a way to scale compute on demand without disrupting active research or rewriting scientific applications.
RESULTS
Viridien delivered a fully managed, high-performance HPC environment, optimized to accelerate simulation performance without changing existing code or workflows.
This enabled Matnex to achieve:
- Approximately 3.5× faster runtimes, accelerating time to insight
- Higher simulation throughput, enabling more experiments in parallel
- More R&D iterations per day, speeding discovery cycles
- Reduced infrastructure complexity, freeing teams to focus on science
- Scalable performance, supporting evolving workloads and growth
- Estimated to deliver around 70% savings through the compute partnership, resulting in multi-million-dollar cost savings.
