9 High Performance Computing and agro-food sector

10 HPC and the industrial sector Many organizations are now using HPC as an essential part of their business strategy. HPC can help them design new products, optimize manufacturing and delivery processes, solve production problems, mine data, and simulate processes, all in an effort to become more competitive, profitable and green. This is done by applying compute cycles in order to solve problems in the fastest way possible: A problem that would take days to solve on a laptop can be solved on a SUPERCOMPUTER in a few minutes

11 Which industrial sectors are using HPC today? Bio-sciences: Drug discovery, disease detection/prevention Computer aided engineering (CAE): mechanical design and testing Chemical engineering: process and molecular design Digital content creation (DCC): computer aided graphic in film media Economics/financial: financial risk analysis Electronic design (EDA): Electronic component design and verification Geo-engineering: oil and gas exploration modeling
