Traditional HPC vs. SimOps

For organizations relying on high-performance computing for simulations, traditional HPC approaches often struggle with complexity and inefficiency, while SimOps offers a holistic operating model that spans people, processes, and technology, empowering product and engineering teams to achieve their desired business outcomes.

Traditional HPC

Traditional HPC approaches are characterized by trial and error in utilizing powerful hardware for complex simulations. Engineers often grapple with infrastructure complexity, detracting from their focus on simulations. Organizational silos and unclear ownership of simulation processes exacerbate the challenges. Additionally, the scarcity of skilled professionals makes it difficult for IT teams to meet the evolving and increasingly complex needs of product and engineering teams. This overwhelming complexity leads to a desire for simplification, which can reduce the capability for effective simulation-driven decisions. Business leaders, faced with escalating costs and increasing complexity, may focus on cost-cutting, further simplifying capabilities needed for high-fidelity simulations, ultimately impacting innovation and competitive edge.

SimOps Framework

The SimOps framework provides a structured methodology of best practices for optimizing simulation operations. Unlike traditional HPC, SimOps integrates people, processes, and technology, streamlining workflows and reducing operational complexity. This approach ensures consistency, scalability, and efficiency in simulation practices, enhancing accuracy and speed. By codifying proven methodologies, SimOps aligns simulation activities with business objectives, improving resource management and cost efficiency. It fosters a collaborative environment where product and engineering teams can continuously improve and leverage advanced simulations to drive strategic decisions, maintaining a competitive edge in the market.
