HPC Considerations for Scalable Multidiscipline CAE Applications on Conventional Linux Platforms

This paper examines HPC workload efficiencies for sample multidiscipline LS-DYNA applications on a conventional HPC Linux platform with proper balance for I/O treatment. Model parameters such as size, element types, schemes of implicit and explicit (and coupled), and a variety of simulation conditions can produce a wide range of computational behavior and I/O management requirements. Consideration must be given to how HPC resources are configured and deployed, in order to satisfy growing LS-DYNA user requirements for increased fidelity from multidiscipline CAE.
