  8. Example: HPC with Linux and MSC.Nastran • History of HPC with MSC.Nastran FEM Description: GRIDs : 49,934 HEXA8s : 39,448 PENTA6s : 5,752 RBE2s : 1 DOFs : 149,342 1 load case

  9. Example: HPC with Linux and MSC.Nastran • Serial results for large car body structure on Intel hardware • MSC’s hardware, OS and application tuning experience is part of MSC’s added value for Linux environments

  10. Example: MSC.Marc DDM • SGI Origin 2000 • 8x 250MHz (!) R10k • 180GB FiberChannel Disks • 16GB Memory • Linux Cluster • 4xHP P-class with 1x866Mhz PIII • 4x 1GB Memory • 100 Mbit/s network

  11. MSC.Linux Offerings • “Extreme Performance Solutions” for Desktops, Servers and Clusters • 2Go Solutions • fixed hardware/software bundle to be purchased from MSC • special setup for each 2Go program • Turnkey Systems • hardware and software configuration tailored to customer’s needs • Upon customer request, MSC consults on ideal hardware/software combination as recognized leader in High Performance Computing with excellent relationships to all major hardware vendor

  12. Linux Clusters Cluster Solution: • Master (Head) Node • Connected to LAN • KVM Switch • Compute Nodes • optimized for application • Communication Backbone • Fast Ethernet, Myrinet ... • Switch • other • Software • System Administration • Queue System • MPI

  13. Customer Investment: Traditional SuperComputing Range from$500,000.00 to $1.5 M MSC.SuperComputing on MSC.Linux Clusters Comparable Solution $200,000.00 MSC.Supercomputing

  14. Design is the Difference Computing not everyone can deliver Application Know-how Specialized OS MSC.SuperComputing
