This article presents some preliminary results for the recent NAFEMS/EESI-2 survey on "Computing Platforms for Engineering Simulation". The survey was prepared by the NAFEMS High Performance Computing Working Group in 2014; with input from colleagues in the European Exascale Software Initiative (EESI-2), the N8 HPC Service (UK) and Teratec (France). The survey was advertised to NAFEMS members and the broad erengineering simulation community in September 2014 and data collection ended in November 2014.
