Petaflops for Simulation
Computer
simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer,
which is designed to predict the behaviour of and/or the outcome of a
real-world or physical system.
Computer
simulations have become a useful tool for the mathematical modelling of many
natural systems in physics (computational physics), astrophysics, climatology,
chemistry, biology and manufacturing,
as well
as human systems in economics, psychology, social science, health care and
engineering. Simulation of a system is represented as the running of the
system's model.
They can
be used to explore and gain new insights into new technology and to estimate
the performance of systems too complex for analytical solutions.
Recent
innovations in GPU technologies have multiplied computer performance allowing
more accurate modelling of weather, climate change, fluid dynamics, molecular
dynamics and more.
Nvidia has a library of containers to install on your GPU-enabled
high-performance compute server to accelerate your model development and to
visualise the results.
If you use this software than a massive improvement in your simulation
project is available by implementing GPU-accelerated Compute hardware and the
Nvidia NGC container.
If you don’t use this software then there are still a number of ways to GPU-accelerate your simulation software.
