As simulation model scales continue to grow, single-machine computing can no longer meet the demands of large-scale engineering projects. The ExCAE HPC-Platform simulation cloud provides enterprises with a complete cluster solution.

Why Do You Need a Simulation Cluster?

Modern CAE simulation faces the following challenges:

  • Full-vehicle crash models exceed tens of millions of degrees of freedom
  • CFD mesh counts routinely reach hundreds of millions
  • Multi-load-case optimization requires massive parallel computation

Ex HPC-Platform Architecture

Hardware Layer

  • Supports hybrid deployment of x86 and ARM architectures
  • InfiniBand high-speed interconnect
  • Distributed storage (Lustre / BeeGFS)

Scheduling Layer

  • Intelligent load-balancing algorithms
  • Priority-based job queues
  • Resource reservation and elastic scaling

Application Layer

  • Web-based job submission interface
  • Mobile app real-time monitoring
  • REST API integration with enterprise OA systems

Key Technologies

# Example: submitting an Abaqus job
import requests

response = requests.post("https://hpc.excae.com/api/jobs", json={
    "name": "crash_analysis_v3",
    "solver": "abaqus",
    "input_file": "/data/models/crash_v3.inp",
    "cores": 128,
    "walltime": "24:00:00"
})

print(f"Job submitted: {response.json()['job_id']}")

Real-World Deployment Case

After deploying the Ex HPC-Platform at a major automotive OEM:

  • Computing resource utilization increased from 45% to 82%
  • Average job wait time reduced by 60%
  • Supports 200+ engineers submitting jobs simultaneously

ExCAE provides full HPC solutions from hardware planning to software deployment.
