Last week, the conference announced the opening keynote will be a joint presentation on digital twins simulation technology, delivered by Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse a nd simulation technology at NVIDIA, and Michele Melchiorre, senior vice president of Production System, Technical Planning, Tool Shop at BMW Group. Titled Supercomputing: The Key to Unlocking the Next Level of Digital Twins, Lebaredian will talk about “how a confluence of today’s technologies has led to a big bang in large-scale virtual world simulation.” Melchiorre will then describe a “journey through stages of BMW’s virtual production system,” which depend heavily on HPC and machine learning.
