Accelerating Innovation Through HPC-Enabled Simulations
1 like2,796 views
The document discusses how high-tech product development is becoming more complex due to trends like miniaturization and increased connectivity. This rising complexity is driving increased investment in simulation software by companies to help address challenges. Simulation allows companies to test thousands of design variations virtually before building physical prototypes, helping accelerate innovation. The document advocates that partnerships between simulation software companies and high performance computing cloud providers can help companies access greater computing resources to perform large-scale simulations and reduce product development time.
