HPC

January 29, 2022

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.

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,

Apocalyptic warnings about the risks of AI are hardly new. Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full AI could spell the end of the human race”(1) and Elon Musk has declared unregulated AI more dangerous than nuclear weapons(2). While computers aren’t out-thinking humans just yet, we’re already confronting the first challenge of the AI-age
