“ We teamed up to support several key engineering industries in Europe in dealing with complex applications using HPC technologies. Our goal is to help Europe leverage scientific progress in high-performance computing driven engineering and address current economic and societal challenge. ”
The ubiquity and complexity of data in the era of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and hyperscalers are growing exponentially. From an instant bank transaction to forecasting the weather or simulating an aircraft aerodynamics, myriad of our actions require enormous amounts of data. Making sense of it in real time is possible by using high-performance computing (HPC), which has become a condition for nearly any engineering field, from fluid dynamics, to genomics, and astronomy.
“We teamed up to support several key engineering industries in Europe in dealing with complex applications using HPC technologies. Our goal is to help Europe leverage scientific progress in high-performance computing driven engineering and address current economic and societal challenge”, said Samir Ben Chaabane, Senior Project Manager at TERATEC.
He is involved in EXCELLERAT, a European project that puts HPC at the heart of data management, analytics, visualisation, simulation-driven design and co-design to support innovation in engineering. The researchers are focused on aeronautics, automotive, energy and manufacturing sectors, but the applicability of their work can go way beyond: from medicine to finance or climate change, these applications can help organisations not only solve problems faster, but also discover new ways to respond to the most pressing issues of our society.
These developments can be accessed and used in advanced engineering or further research. In this regard, EXCELLERAT acts as European Centre of Excellence in Engineering by bringing together a broad range of services, tools, and expertise to support industrial users, technology providers, academics, developers, and engineers.
One key application is creating highly realistic and reliable design simulations. These can illustrate a product or process characteristics and behaviour, and help researchers analyse and improve features fast by avoiding unnecessary tests or feedback loops.
