High Performance Computing

Computing technology is changing rapidly, making High Performance Computing affordable for even the smallest companies, opening up many new opportunities to use Simulation in Design. However, there are many potential barriers to the successful adoption of this emerging technology, and to understanding its implications.

This seminar provided delegates with an opportunity to learn about developments in High Performance Computing and Grid Computing with presentations from experts in the field, developers and consultants.  

Topics covered were:

• Parallel CFD and FEA

• Developments in Hardware, both at the detailed chip level, and also at a system level .

• Cluster Management Tools .

• Grid Computing and Engineering Analysis

• Getting started and how to configure and size a system for your simulation needs.

• New CFD Opportunities Through Advanced Modelling.
