Artificial intelligence (AI) is finding its way into use cases from marketing to manufacturing. It leaves no doubt that we are in the early stages of the next industrial revolution. Given this reality, if you haven’t already started to craft an AI strategy, you will need to soon. But the good news is you’re not falling behind yet. Most organizations are just beginning their AI journey. That said, don’t wait. You need to craft a robust data strategy that leverages AI architectures to drive innovation across all business units. At SFL Scientific we’ve seen an increased demand for our data strategy, scientific advisory, and AI development and deployment services. In the manufacturing industry, we work with our clients to drive ... [ Read More ]

At King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, high-performance computing is in our DNA. We launched our first supercomputer Shaheen I at our university’s founding in 2009. Six years later, we put Shaheen II, our second system, into service. Since its launch in 2015, Shaheen II has been the computational engine behind several record-breaking simulations and many significant discoveries. It’s the largest and most powerful supercomputer in the Middle East, and its speed and performance have attracted some of the brightest computationally oriented scholars from all over the world. As such, Shaheen II has been integral in assisting KAUST to grow as a destination for science and technology research. A fun fact about Shaheen is that ... [ Read More ]

Can LS-DYNA Scale Any Higher?

by 1 Comment

Processing and memory bottlenecks can run but they can’t hide. Not indefinitely, at least. And especially not when four technology leaders combine efforts against them. Cray, Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC), the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and Rolls-Royce are partnering on an ongoing project to explore the future of implicit finite element analyses of large-scale models using LS-DYNA, a multiphysics simulation software package, and Cray supercomputing technology. As the scale of finite element models — and the systems they run on — increase, so do scaling issues and the amount of time it takes to run a model. Understanding that, ultimately, only time and resource constraints limit the size ... [ Read More ]

The Peloton Project: Largest-Ever Sports Simulation Yields Surprising Results

by 4 Comments

Aerodynamics in a cycling peloton aren’t what you might expect. A peloton is the main field or group of riders in a road bicycle race like the Tour de France. While it can take different shapes, the peloton’s overall purpose is to take advantage of the effects of slipstreaming, or drafting, behind other riders in the group. Air resistance is the biggest mechanical component preventing cyclists from going faster on flat road, and slipstreaming can save up to 50 percent of their energy. Or that was the assumption, at least. The reality is that almost no information exists on aerodynamic resistance for riders in cycling pelotons. Systematic computer simulations or measurements have never been reported before. Professor Bert ... [ Read More ]
