UberCloud will be at the 34th INTERNATIONAL CAE CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION

Wolfgang Gentzsch from UberCloud and Gisli Kr., from Advania Data Centers will present a talk:

The Timing is Right for CAE in the Cloud

Abstract

Only a few years ago it seemed impossible to perform CAE simulations in the cloud: there were barely any high-performance computing servers available in the cloud; data transfer between the cloud and on-premise resources was often too slow; cloud security was a concern; software vendors were not prepared for the cloud and licensing was not cloud-ready; setting up your own compute cluster in the cloud was time-consuming and needed a lot of system expertise; and often companies' compliance regulations were (and are) still not up to date.

But most of these barriers have been removed, over time, mainly by novel technology like software containers and cloud services platforms. In our talk we will analyze the process of moving CAE applications to the cloud and look at how roadblocks can be removed, and we will present a few real engineering examples of how Automotive OEMs and their suppliers today are performing CAE simulations on remote computing resources.
