Yes, many kinds of software. Alone the CFD solvers are happy with more, regardless which kind of more. More CPUs, more RAM, more GPU, more network, more HDD...all more. And already the preparation of the data for the simulation can be very hardware-demanding, like generating the voxels or partitioning the model volume for the number of CPUs.
And the post-processing software, like EnSight or Paraview can also be pretty demanding, depending on the size of the simulation results.
The current workstations here have Linux, 2x Hexacore CPUs, dual Quadro GPUs and 48 - 96 GB RAM.
NASA called, they want their computers back.
