A trusted standard for aerospace design
Few computational analyses are as complex – and important – as those that support the design and manufacturing of commercial and military aircraft. While the problems themselves vary greatly, the goals are similar: scientists and engineers must find ways to deliver superior designs as quickly as possible so the company can get products to market faster, and with less costs, than their competition.
The aerospace market relies on high performance computing (HPC) for complex simulations, improved aircraft and engine designs and lower development costs – for shorter time to solution, faster time to market, and superior product quality. Meeting these critical business objectives while managing rapidly increasing complexity and the need to be cost effective is a daunting challenge.
Meeting these demanding goals requires high performance computing systems and powerful software tools. Together, these high performance tools allow aerospace companies to conceive, model and simulate new aircraft and engine designs, without ever needing to physically build and test them. Investments in high performance computing don’t just save time and money. They also enable aerospace companies to investigate more design options, to be more creative, and to get new products to market sooner.
PBS Works Solutions for Aerospace
Leading aerospace companies and research institutions need advanced workloads management software that can optimize their significant HPC investments – helping scientists and engineers expand the use of computational tools to be more productive, and enterprises more competitive and profitable.
PBS Works software solutions provide aerospace clients with a range of benefits that include:
- High infrastructure complexity and cost
- Poor visibility into capacity and utilization
- Product quality issues
HPC managers within the aerospace market use PBS Professional to get maximum value from software licenses and to maximize utilization of the very large clusters commonly used for CFD studies by aerospace engineers. They use PBS Professional’s scheduling and resource reservation capabilities to ensure that engineering teams get fair-share access to computing resources and to pre-empt access priority for urgent projects.
Making high performance computing highly productive – whether through simplified management or intuitive graphical interfaces – is one of today’s most important challenges.
PBS Catalyst was designed to meet the critical need for a simplified management and end-user productivity. PBS Catalyst simplifies the management of distributed, often complex server and application configurations.
Using a simple web browser interface, administrators can install and configure one or multiple PBS complexes. Policies can be created, modified and applied to one or several compute complexes. Many administrative tasks – for one or multipe PBS complexes - can be performed from a single management console.
Sites using PBS Catalyst can create application specific ‘portals’ that maximize end-user productivity while ensuring resources are used efficiently.
Because workloads have become much larger and more complex than ever before comprehensive and robust analysis and visualization features are needed to help ensure limited computing resources are being used effectively and efficiently.
PBS Analytics is a easy to use data analysis and visualization solution that provides PBS Works administrators with advanced job and license analyses to support data-driven planning and decision making.
High performance computing represents a crucial edge that provides aerospace companies with a sustainable competitive advantage: from innovative design to worl class manufacturing and improved time-to-market.
