Is CAE leveraging advances in hardware?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

At the conference, the author will present a critical review of the recent NAFEMS survey on “Computing Platforms for Engineering Simulation”. There is a growing choice of computing platforms for engineering simulation, from typical workstations through to compute clusters and Cloud Computing. Furthermore, each of these platforms can be “accelerated”, for example using many-core processors (Intel Xeon Phi) or GPUs. The survey aims to gain insight into how the community is using present day platforms and what their expectations are for the future. These points of view will be compared with the future plans of the principal software vendors. The motivation is to assess whether the CAE community are getting the full benefits of advances in computer hardware. This presentation will give an overview of some of the results of the survey. For an in-depth analysis, the reader should consult the associated NAFEMS publication.
