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.

As the first to 40Gb/s, 56Gb/s and 100Gb/s bandwidth, Mellanox has both boosted data center and cloud performance and improved return on investment at a pace that exceeds its own roadmap. To that end, Mellanox has now announced that it is the first company to enable 200Gb/s data speeds with Mellanox Quantum switches, ConnectX-6 adapters, and LinkX cables combining for an end-to end 200G HDR InfiniBand solution in 2018. Download the new report, courtesy of Mellanox Technologies, to lean more about 200G HDR InfiniBand solutions.

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.
