Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Associate — Question 16

An Aeronautical company requires infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for computational fluid dynamics, such as simulating airflow over airplane wings. These simulations require significant amount of computing power.
Which OCI compute shape is best suited run their workload?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Virtual Machine HPC shape is specifically designed for high-performance computing tasks, making it ideal for intensive simulations like those used in computational fluid dynamics. The Virtual Machine Standard shape lacks the specialized resources needed for such demanding workloads, while the Bare Metal HPC shape, although powerful, may be more than what is required. The Burstable instance shape is not suitable for sustained high-performance tasks since it is designed for variable workloads.
