If you are a vehicle manufacturer dealing with inefficient wind tunnel testing — this project developed optimized fluid dynamics codes that allow for massive simulations on Exascale systems. This reduces the need for physical prototypes and speeds up design cycles.
High-Performance Computing Hub for Advanced Engineering and Industrial Design
Imagine having a super-powered calculator that can simulate how air flows over a car or how fuel burns in an engine with perfect accuracy. This project creates a central hub where companies can get help tuning their software to run on the world's fastest computers. It's like a specialized gym for engineering code, making it faster and stronger to solve complex real-world problems.
What needed solving
Engineering companies struggle to adapt their complex simulation software to the newest, most powerful supercomputers, leading to slow development and wasted computing resources.
What was built
A Centre of Excellence acting as a service hub. It provides a service portal and technical services for code porting, co-design, and scalability enhancement for 7 reference applications.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a power plant operator dealing with combustion inefficiency — this project developed specialized tools for the combustion domain. These tools help optimize energy production for a low-carbon and more environmentally friendly operation.
If you are a software vendor dealing with code that cannot scale to new hardware — this project developed a service hub for code porting and scalability enhancement. This ensures your software remains competitive on the latest Exascale hardware.
