High Performance Computing for the Masses

HENRIK STEEPLER, PH. D., PARTNER ACCOUNT MANAGER EMEA, MICROSOFT

The use of HPC in science and engineering is well established. Among the most widely deployed applications are simulations of different physical phenomena such as computational fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, and electromagnetics. A significant performance boost is achieved through parametric simulations, a form of simulation that allows for optimal scalability by solving the same problem in parallel for a wide range of parameter values. COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0 supports all of these uses of HPC.
