Financial institutions (FIs) face unprecedented challenges. With increasing consumer expectations and megatrends such as mobile banking, alternative lenders, and cloud computing, banks are under intense pressure. They need to innovate faster, offer new services, and deploy new applications to serve their customers better. Despite these imperatives, data center growth rates have become unsustainable. The need

There’s perhaps no field more demanding than modern semiconductor design. In both research and commercial settings, customers expect new electronic devices to be faster, cheaper, smaller, and more energy-efficient with each generation. Semiconductor producers rely on electronic design automation (EDA) tools to realize these improvements. Few understand these challenges better than CEA Tech, the Grenoble-based

In the age of the internet and IoT, the need for electromagnetic simulation is on the rise. Today’s electronic devices bristle with electronic transmitters and sensors of all kinds. I recently had the opportunity to work with smart people at Altair and AMD to document a series of interesting electromagnetics benchmarks conducted with Altair Feko.

I recently completed work on the attached article for Altair and AMD published by InsideHPC. The combination of Altair structural and CFD solvers and the latest AMD EPYC 7003 series processors deliver industry-leading performance for CAE applications. You can read about the detailed benchmarks results here: Taking Altair Structural & CFD Analysis to New Heights

I recently completed a project working with Altair studying the pros and cons of open-source vs. commercial workload management. Having worked for years in HPC at both Platform Computing and IBM, this topic was right in my wheelhouse. You can download the whitepaper here: A Cost-benefit Look at Open-source vs. Commercial HPC Workload Managers (altair.com) High-performance

When it comes to high-performance computing (HPC), engineers can never get enough performance. Even minor improvements at the chip-level can have a dramatic financial impact in hyper-competitive industries such as computer-aided engineering (CAE) for manufacturing and electronic design automation (EDA). With their respective x86 processor lineups, Intel and AMD continue to battle for bragging rights,
