Smart Manufacturing
CAE as a Service in the Cloud
Objective: convincing you to consider CAE in the Cloud
Engineers & scientists major computing tools:
, servers, and clouds
Let’s analyze the benefits & challenges for 20 million engineers & scientists
workstations
Workstations have limited capacity
Computing: too slow
Memory: too small
57 % of users are dissatisfied with their desktop computing capacity*

Benefits of servers
More compute power and memory
Higher quality design and products
Reducing product failure early
Shorten time to market
However: Servers are expensive and complex
$70,000 server => $1 mio cost over 3 years
Benefits of clouds
More (infinite) computing
On demand, pay per use
Scaling resources dynamically, up and down
Choice, with multiple providers
Result: better, faster, cheaper.
However: Clouds: come with some challenges, too
Security, licensing, control, data transfer, expertise, portability, expertise, cost, ROI, …
Mental …
So why do I belive
CLOUD is coming, strongly ?
The Market
Today: 20+million engineers, scientists and their service providers in a very fragmented market
Future: this market will grow towards the long tail
Small & medium companies
The Missing Middle
Expert consultants
Maker movement
Amateurs
Students
Servicer Providers
Key HPC Cloud Market Drivers
Enterprise use of cloud drives R&D use of Cloud
Engineers’ growing awareness about benefits
Engineers’ experience with consumer cloud = “work imitates life” *)
The large guys**) expect suppliers to do better, faster, cheaper

MOOC
Key HPC Cloud Market Drivers
If you want to learn, start with Experiments
Fast backward 2012: UberCloud’s free voluntary Experiments
HPC as a Service, on demand, in a team experiment,
to explore the end-to-end process
using cloud computing resources
as a service, on demand, at your fingertips
and learning how to resolve the roadblocks.
TODAY: 175 experiments, 3000+ companies, 72 countries, 50 case studies
Experiment 170 - Simulating Car Frontal Impact in the Cloud
MEET THE TEAM
• End-User/FEA Expert: Dr. Stefan Castravete, General Manager, Caelynx Europe, ROMANIA
• Software Provider: Prof. Dr. U. Göhner, DYNAmore GmbH
• Resource Provider and HPC Experts: Thomas Gropp, Alexander Heine, Christian Unger, CPU24/7
• Mentor: Wolfgang Gentzsch, The UberCloud
Simulating Car Frontal Impact in the Cloud
6/16/2015 15
Toyota Yaris SedanFull Vehicle Model*
*) "This model has been developed by The National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) of the George Washington University under a contract with the FHWA and NHTSA of the US DOT
- The Team added the frontal airbag
- Analysis of frontal impact with rigid wall at 56 km/h
Impact at different times
Full impact appears at about 66 ms. After that the vehicle is rebounded. Maximum deceleration is about 53g.
FEA with DYNAmore’s LS-DYNA
- Computing resources: CPU24/7 computing cloud - HPC Cloud consists of two 12 core INTEL Xeon machines - Scaled with 6, 12, and 24 CPU cores
Conclusions of the experiment Case study http://www.theubercloud.com/dynamore-ls-dyna-cloud/
End-user has 4-core workstation, CPU24/7 has 24-core node
Speed-up factor from 6 to 12 to 24 cores = 1.88
Improvement: 7 times faster and 10 times more memory
End user effort: 10 hours for simulation setup, technical support, reporting and overall management of the project
UberCloud support: 3 hours for monitoring & administration
Cloud resources: 120 core hours for various simulations
Security
Information security, privacy:
protecting the users intellectual property
guarding raw data (physics, geometry, results)
Recommendation:
document your security requirements
select a suitable provider
Encryption, VPN, dedicated cloud server, TRUST, etc.
Comment:
Security in the cloud is at the same standard level as any other IT infrastructure. It’s more a mental issue.
Data Transfer
Internet too slow for heavy data transfer:
Often GBytes of results
Especially last mile problem
Recommendation:
Don’t ship every byte, just important ones (VCollab)
Use remote visualization (NICE DCV)
if necessary, fedex the data over-night
Comment:
Clouds can’t solve your last mile problem
Software licensing
Incompatible software licensing models:
ISVs often stick to their annual, perpetual licensing
Recommendation:
Check CAE software stack on UberCloud Marketplace
Talk to your ISV
ISVs should develop on-demand software licensing
Comment:
Some ISVs have cloud licensing (CD-adapco, COMSOL,…)
Many ISVs are developing cloud licensing
Engineers need pay-per-project (week, month)
Cloud Cost
Cost of Cloud is often hidden:
Server versus Cloud cost is often unclear
pay-per-use billing can result in unpredictable cost
project can easily run out of budget
Recommendation:
Cost estimation upfront (UberCloud paper www…./cost)
Automated, policy driven monitoring of usage & billing
Comment:
Replacement and bursting are 2 different questions
… and a crowded cloud market

Finally, the ‘secrete’ sauce: application containers
UberCloud application containers
Ready-to-execute packages of software
Designed to deliver the tools that an engineer needs to complete his task in hand
The ISV or Open Source tools are pre-installed, configured, and tested, and are running on bare metal, without loss of performance.
Ready to execute, in an instant with no need to install software, deal with complex OS commands, or configure
Based on LXC Linux container technology and Linux kernel components
Docker containers enhanced for engineering and scientific applications
