Automotive

A shorter product development cycle


Around the world, every automobile manufacturer, and all of their suppliers use high performance computing systems and software tools to design, optimize and test advanced engine designs, as well as testing fuel efficiency and passenger safety.

Automobile manufacturers rely on high performance computing – for shorter time to solution, faster time to market, and superior product quality. Meeting these critical business objectives while managing rapidly increasing complexity and the need to be cost effective is a daunting challenge.

Meeting these demanding goals requires high performance computing systems and powerful software tools. Investments in high performance computing don’t just save time and money. They also enable aerospace companies to investigate more design options, to be more creative, and to get new products to market sooner.

PBS Works Solutions for Automotive

Automotive manufacturing companies need advanced computing systems and software tools that can optimize their significant HPC investments – making them more productive, more competitive and profitable.

PBS Works software solutions provide our automotive manufacturing clients with a range of benefits that include:
  • High infrastructure complexity and cost

  • Improved productivity – end user and resources

  • Superior quality while lowering costs

With HPC workload optimization solutions from PBS Works, automotive engineers can shorten design times, lower infrastructure costs and maximize the utilization of HPC systems used for structural and materials sciences, process simulation or fuel efficiency studies. PBS Professional’s scheduling and resource reservation capabilities ensure that engineering teams get fair-share access to computing resources and to pre-empt access priority for urgent projects.

Making high performance computing highly productive – whether through simplified management or intuitive graphical interfaces – is one of today’s most important challenges.

PBS Catalyst was designed to meet the critical need for a simplified management and end-user productivity. PBS Catalyst simplifies the management of distributed, often complex server and application configurations.

Using a simple web browser interface, administrators can install and configure one or multiple PBS complexes. Policies can be created, modified and applied to one or several compute complexes. Many administrative tasks – for one or multipe PBS complexes - can be performed from a single management console.

Sites using PBS Catalyst can create application specific ‘portals’ that maximize end-user productivity while ensuring resources are used efficiently.

Because workloads have become much larger and more complex than ever before, comprehensive and robust analysis and visualization features are needed to help ensure limited computing resources are being used effectively and efficiently.

PBS Analytics is a easy to use data analysis and visualization solution that provides PBS Works administrators with advanced job and license analyses to support data-driven planning and decision making.

High performance computing represents a crucial edge that provides automotive manufacturers and their suppliers can rely on for a sustainable competitive advantage: from innovative design to world class fuel consumption and improved time-to-market performance.
