HPC – what is it?

High Performance Computing

allows solving complex problems simulating advanced physics running many simulations

in parallel (e.g. optimization)

is expensive knowledge-intensive fast, when used correctly

Cloud Computing – what is it?

Cloud Computing

allows access anytime, anywhere scaling resources on-demand paying only for what is used

is traditionally used for data-intensive tasks typically not tailored for massively parallel HPC supposed to be user-friendly

Cloud-based design of hydraulic turbine (Enginsoft)

Goals increase renewable energy exploitation increase the SME market share globally

(emerging countries)

Results 10% simulation time reduction 50% time to market reduction 24% reduction on investment costs over 2 years Income of 1.5 M€ per year per plant (1 MW)

2 additional plants per year

An efficient design is one of the key ingredients for a SME to gain a competitive edge on the market.
