Wim SLAGTER, ANSYS, Inc.
This keynote presentation identifies the major challenges and trends in engineering simulation which are driving HPC innovations. One of the challenges is setting up a cost-effective and scalable IT environment. This is clearly needed to address the current and future simulation workloads, including efficient utilization of centralized and/or cloud resources. Furthermore, products today are increasingly intelligent, with highly inter-related sub-systems spanning multiple physics. To be able to tackle them, HPC is needed. Then, variations in operating conditions, manufacturing processes and material properties create uncertainty in the overall success of a product design. HPC is needed to cope with these numerous variations in a timely, cost-effective manner. But also optimization of workstation deployment, and collaboration and data sharing between globally distributed work teams. This is also related to cloud computing, data management, linkage to PLM, etc. Finally, engineering departments have less time and often fewer resources. There is clearly a need to amplify engineering productivity, and HPC is increasingly being used to drive more value out of the existing engineering team, including non-traditional users.
