EXCELLERAT to Bring HPC Applications to Engineering Industry

High-performance computing (HPC) specialists are looking forward to the technological improvements that should arrive as supercomputers approach the exascale. New approaches in hardware design and application development will expand the power of supercomputing, making it possible to solve new kinds of complex problems. These advances will, in turn, likely benefit industrial engineering research and development.

New supercomputing record set by ANSYS, HLRS and Cray ​

ANSYS, the High Performance Computing Center (HLRS) of the University of Stuttgart, and Cray Inc. have set a new supercomputing world record enabling organizations to create complete virtual prototypes of products faster than ever. ANSYS Fluent has been scaled to 172,032 computer cores on the HLRS supercomputer Hazel Hen, a Cray XC40 system.
