Manufacturing

In the Manufacturing industry, HPC methods are used to design, optimize and test new products and refine existing products. Computing systems and the models that run on them help the manufacturing researcher to make their companies more competitive and profitable. Common computational methods include fluid dynamics, structural and materials science, basic and applied chemistry and process simulation. 

The Cray XT family and the Cray XT5 and XT5h systems provide the unmatched scalability needed to push these models to their limits, increasing the accuracy and impact of the research on the product development cycle. The Cray XT5, using standard parallel programming paradigms, such as OpenMP and MPI can provide a portable platform for both development and production simulations.
