Cloud for HPC Pros: Expand HPC Infrastructure On-demand with Cost-effective, Multi-cloud Scaling

With faster computers comes new complexities that, if understood, can be mastered to yield significant application performance and cost improvements. In this breakout session, we will investigate how the Azure HBv3 offering, with increased memory bandwidth and L3 cache, can drastically reduce time to solution for AcuSolve at scale. We will cover some benchmarks and show how they perform on Azure at various scale points. This data will enable AcuSolve users to reduce time to solution so they can dedicate more time to improving their product.

The massive exploration of ideas through computational science and artificial intelligence is fueled by high-performance computing. In the cloud, on-premises, at the edge, and everywhere in between, explore the HPC technology maximizing HPC throughput and utilization for breakthrough results.

In this presentation Ian Littlewood, Product Manager at Altair, runs attendees through some live demos around Altair's hybrid cloud bursting for HPC workloads. Discover how Altair can provide multi-cloud bursting tools to impact your business needs and how our simulator driven bursting can provide cost-optimized resources at the right time and based on your company's policy, controls and limits.

In this session, cloud expert Rick Watkins presents three actionable HPC and cloud models designed to optimize innovation potential and longtime ROI, whether your team is small and nimble or maintains its own large compute infrastructure. Engineers interested in boosting performance with HPC will come away with an understanding of what HPC and cloud model could be right for them – as well as a high-level appreciation for the critical role that IT infrastructure optimization plays in maintaining your team’s competitive edge, and all the complexity involved in making appear simple.

Altair's EMEA enterprise computing director, Chris Townend, and product manager, Ian Littlewood, team up to talk about adopting HPC in the cloud and making it simple for users and administrators.
