ESI attends the 10(th) Teratec Forum
for the Development of High Performance Computing
And announces the creation of ESI's European HPC center
Paris, France - June 23, 2015 - ESI Group, pioneer and world-leading solution
provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, will attend the
10(th) Teratec Forum at the Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, June 23 & 24. A
founding member of the organization, ESI has supported Teratec for the past
decade. Today, Teratec plays a leading role in accelerating the developments of
High Performance Computing in Europe. For this reason, ESI has chosen the
Teratec Campus, near Paris, to host its new European HPC center which is due to
open this summer.
In a highly competitive global context, European countries are engaging in
digital strategies as a means to increase their industrial competitiveness. Ten
years ago, leading French industrial companies, R&D centers and local
authorities joined forces to create the non-profit association Teratec, aimed at
supporting innovation through High-Performance Computing.
Teratec's role includes the creation and the promotion of French and European
R&D projects led in conjunction with industrial players, technology providers,
research centers and competitiveness clusters. Teratec also supports small and
medium businesses in adopting HPC solutions, organizes training, and sets-up
international partnerships. To promote the use of HPC, Teratec organizes
seminars and the annual Teratec Forum: a two-day conference and tradeshow
gathering HPC experts from all Europe. This coming June 23 & 24, ESI will attend
the 10(th) Teratec Forum at the Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France.
2012 marked the opening of the Teratec Campus, a 13 000 m(2) site hosting key
HPC players such as BULL, CEA, Intel, Silkan, Avantis Technologies, CMI Defence
and ESI Group. The Campus is also home to the CEA's "Très Grand Centre de
Calcul" or TGCC - Europe's largest HPC center. The TGCC now features France's
first Petascale machine, Curie, with a total computing capacity in excess of 2
petaflops, and the next generation Computing Center for Research and Technology
(CCRT). The Curie has been instrumental in running large calculations for state-
of-the-art simulation projects such as the PRACE project "FMOC - Fast
Multiphysics Optimization of a Car" led by Renault, ESI Group, Ecole Centrale de
Lyon and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne. The FMOC
used models with more than 20 million finite elements to simulate a car crash
and to accurately predict the vehicle's performance with the objective of
improving passenger safety.
This summer, ESI will open its own European HPC center on the Teratec Campus.
Vincent Chaillou, COO of ESI Group, comments, "ESI strives to push the
boundaries of simulation in support of industrial innovation. To this aim, ESI's
new European HPC Center will offer a robust and secure platform enabling ESI to
meet the needs of its European customer base. The vicinity of the TGCC and
leading solution providers offers an ideal setting to foster innovative
industrial and R&D projects."

About ESI Group
ESI is a world-leading provider of Virtual Product Engineering software and
services with a strong foundation in the physics of the materials of which
products are built.
Founded over 40 years ago, ESI has developed a unique proficiency in helping
industrial manufacturers replace physical prototypes by virtually replicating
the fabrication, assembly and testing of products in different environments.
Virtual Prototyping enables ESI's clients to evaluate the performance of their
product, and the consequences of its manufacturing history, under normal or
accidental conditions. By benefiting from this information early in the process,
enterprises know whether a product can be built, and whether it will meet its
performance and certification objectives, before any physical prototype is
built. To enable customer innovation, ESI's solutions integrate the latest
technologies in high performance computing and immersive Virtual Reality,
allowing companies to bring products to life before they even
exist.
Today, ESI's customer base spans nearly every industry sector. The company
employs about 1000 high-level specialists worldwide to address the needs of
customers in more than 40 countries. For further information, visit www.esi-
