HPC and Cloud Computing

The right computing capacity no matter the size of the job.
The computational demand can vary dramatically depending on the complexity and scale of the analysis. Simpact have their own cluster of multi core solvers. This capacity is used for model development and most of our simulations. However, for when larger throughput is required or when the analysis requires access to a high number of parallel cores or large memory we access off site HPC's via Cloud Computing.

We are set up with the software providers to make use of multi-core licensing and have the local licence server infrastructure and knowhow that allows porting to off site HPCs. Since 2014, we have been users of the Encore HPC ‘Blue Wonder’ Linux system which has eight 192 CPU/cores and is located at the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council in Daresbury. This computer is listed as one of the Top500 supercomputers in the world and as part of the incorporation of the facility with our compute network we carried out benchmarking to assess the performance of the system and investigate the up scaling of the LS-DYNA3D MPP version.

In 2018 Simpact started testing the Rescale HPC platform and are now fully integrated. This provides us and our customers with the option for short bursts of high core count LS-DYNA3D simulations and the opportunity to run very large models (~10M elements). Sometimes, this requires hundreds of cores of LS-DYNA3D for an adequate CPU compute time.
