Summary on Grant Application Form
This project will establish a collaborative framework in which industry can access both High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities and industry standard commercial software packages in a commercially viable and sustainable manner. In particular, we will work with three software vendors (MathWorks, ESI and Wilde) to produce case studies demonstrating the competitive advantage to SMEs that can arise from access to quality software on HPC facilities. The project will also explore the options for more flexible licensing models that are consistent with HPC-on-demand, and will evaluate the scope for SMEs, particularly within the Engineering and Manufacturing sectors within the MidPlus region, to exploit HPC in improving their product design and development cycles.
