ESI opens new offices on the Ter(at)tec Campus, a site dedicated to Simulation and
High Performance Computing
A strategic location for collaboration with leading industrial companies to
accelerate
the development of HPC
Paris, France - June 14, 2013 - ESI Group, pioneer and world-leading solution
provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, announces the
opening of new offices on the Ter(at)tec Campus, the largest computing center in
Europe, based just outside Paris. This new location will bring proximity to work
hand in hand with industrial and R&D companies in the field of High Performance
Computing (HPC); contributing to the development of HPC technologies.
The Ter(at)tec Campus has already attracted major industrial and R&D companies, of
small and large sizes. BULL and the French Atomic Energy Committee (or CEA) have
set up a Laboratory for Extreme Computing, while Intel, Genci, the University of
Versailles and the CEA have opened an Exascale Computing Research center,
facilities respectively aimed at developing innovative HPC architectures and
increasing software performance to enable more efficient, more powerful
simulation solutions. The Ter(at)tec Campus is also home to the CEA's Très Grand
Centre de Calcul (Very Large Computing Center), an essential tool for conducting
research in the fields of computing and simulation.
Today, ESI is actively involved in several collaborative supercomputing
projects, hosted by IRT System X and based at the Ter(at)tec Campus. ESI also took
part in the "Complex Systems Design Lab" project, led by the Systematic Paris
Region competitiveness cluster. Completed in September 2012, this research
project gave birth to a comprehensive cloud environment for Virtual Product
Engineering, enabling collaborative decision making by providing robustness
criteria and possible tradeoffs between different product design options
Vincent Chaillou, COO, ESI Group, explains the importance of supporting the
progresses of HPC technologies in order to support Big Data simulations: "ESI
customers around the globe use Virtual Manufacturing to
predict the cause and effect relationships taking place in the manufacturing of
each component, sub-assembly and assembly to achieve a full end-to-end Virtual
Prototype of their product. ESI clients can then enter an optimization strategy,
which involves increasingly larger models and consequentially larger size
calculation! The rapid evolution of High Performance Computing is key to support
the development of Virtual Product Engineering."
On June 20(th), 2013, Alain de Rouvray, CEO, ESI Group, and Vincent Chaillou,
COO, ESI Group, joined by key customers from the automotive, aerospace and heavy
industry, partners and investors, will inaugurate ESI's new office space. After
the ceremony, ESI will offer a live demonstration of its Virtual Reality
solution, IC.IDO. This solution is used by manufacturers across many industries
to improve the design of new products, eliminating design errors early in the
design process. Thanks to IC.IDO, engineers can perform collaborative
engineering reviews, evaluate and optimize assembly and disassembly sequences,
verify resources and tooling for both manufacture and maintenance, and support
documentation and training; all before any part of the product is made. A
Virtual Reality installation, providing an immersive and interactive experience,
will be located permanently in ESI's offices at Ter(at)tec Campus and benefit
diverse HPC projects.
On June 25(th) & 26(th), ESI will participate in the 8th Ter(at)tec Forum, an event
dedicated to the development of numerical simulation methods and HPC. Held every
year at the Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, this event regularly attracts over
a thousand participants. On June 26, 2013, Etienne de Pommery, Business
Development Director for Aeronautics, ESI Group, will co-chair with Vincent
Cousin from Advancity a Workshop, entitled "Modeling and simulation to support
sustainable cities". Workshop chairs and attendees will collectively attempt to
determine how modeling and simulation can be applied to the transformation of
cities.
