Microsoft - Plenary Speaker & Banquet Sponsor
Windows HPC Server 2008 provides a productive, cost-effective, and high-performance computing (HPC) solution that runs on x64-bit hardware. Windows HPC Server 2008 can be deployed, managed, and extended using familiar tools and technologies.
The HPC platform from Microsoft, called Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008 is a productive, cost-effective, scalable, and easy to use solution that is capable of performing intensive calculation of detailed models at enhanced processing speeds. By running LS-DYNA® on Windows® HPC Server, you can shorten the amount of time and money that is spent on design and verification, enabling you to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Benefits
- Industry-leading, multi-field simulation tools
- Simplified HPC platform
- Lower lifecycle costs
- Decreased time to market
- Enhanced security
The Combination
The LS-DYNA® suite and Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008 accelerate calculation speed and reduce time to insight for a wide range of industries and applications. Windows® HPC Server provides a powerful platform for HPC, while LS-DYNA® provides a flexible simulation solution for finite element analysis. Together, users receive a simple to use, cost-effective, and robust parallel processing solution for the simulation of product testing and design that would otherwise require large system and IT resources.
Application Areas
LS-DYNA® combined with Microsoft® Windows® HPC Server 2008 high-performance computing platform provides an accelerated solution for engineers, mathemeticians, and designers in many industries, including:
- Automotive - Analyze vehicle designs and accurately predict structural integrity in a collision and the effects on the occupants
- Metal Forming - Accurately predict stresses and deformations that will occur during the manufacturing process
- Aerospace - Simulate bird strike, jet engine blade containment, and structural failure
