Tech Insider: The Use of High Performance Computing in Multiphysics Modeling

Thursday, June 12, 2014 • 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time 

While processors continue to increase in computing performance capabilities, current innovation is turning to the power of parallel processing, in modern-day workstations and clusters, to simulate real-world applications. High performance computing (HPC) is becoming more accessible and enables engineers and scientists to perform multiphysics modeling more easily. Algorithms are being optimized for parallel processing and sophisticated modeling solutions are automating the process.
 
This webinar, co-hosted by Intel and COMSOL, will bring together expertise from both the hardware and software side of HPC. You will be introduced to the concept of multiphysics applications and how they can be effectively simulated in each step of the approach. Then you will see a presentation of the most appropriate hardware configuration for modeling such applications. This will introduce you to the concepts of shared-memory and distributed computing and when to apply both of these simultaneously – hybrid modeling. The most appropriate algorithms for HPC will be discussed, and benchmarking results will be presented as well as the cluster technologies that help make it all happen.
