In this video, Shane Moeykens from Ansys presents: Leveraging HPC and Optimizing the IT Environment for Engineering Simulation. The presentation was recorded at the HPC Advisory Council Stanford Conference 2013. Download the slides (PDF).
In this guest article, our friends at Intel discuss how accelerated computing has diversified over the past several years given advances in CPU, GPU, FPGA, and AI technologies. This innovation drives the need for an open and cross-platform language that allows developers to realize the potential of new hardware, minimizes development cost and complexity, and maximizes reuse of their software investments.
With the exponential growth of data that needs to be analyzed and the data resulting from ever-more complex workflows, the need for faster data movement has never been more challenging and critical to the worlds of High Performance Computing (HPC) and machine learning. Mellanox Technologies is once again moving the bar forward with the introduction of and end-to-end HDR 200G InfiniBand product portfolio. Download the new white paper, courtesy of Mellanox, that explores in-network computing and the benefits of the switch from 100G to 200G Infiniband.

This presentation misses the most glaring issue with commercial software providers, such as ANSYS, namely that their licensing models are extremely out of touch with the pace of Moore’s law. Add into that mix the fact that they want to ala carte you to death for things like GPGPUs.
Rich – here is a great little side project for you. Track commercial software cost against hardware costs. With hardware, costs scale, with software it sadly misses the boat. You can spend $1.5M for something in the 100TF range for an fully depreciated life over 36 months. Commercial CAE software to run on that cluster (CFD, Crash, FEA, Chemistry) can hit you with that same number yearly.
