Distributed SimulationMulti-core, multiprocessor and cloud computing are growing in preference over large powerful processors. As engineering simulation software becomes more scalable, and as the demand for design of experiment and optimization increases, organizations need to run a large number of simulations simultaneously. Each might run in parallel on a number of processors or cores to accelerate the design process and speed time to market. This trend requires the computational flexibility to run very large simulations on thousands of cores, conduct many simulations in parallel on a few processors, and/or systematically perform numerous quick simulations. |
