Hello friends!
--
I hope to see some of you at the SVEC Open House tonight.
We especially need some students because if there are leftovers I would like to give them all the students to share with their engineering clubs!
You don't have to preregister - you can just sign up at the door if you like. Looks like we'll have a good crowd. We should have some good appetizers and a good crowd of engineers to network with. We should have some tables for literature if you'd like to bring some to give out. The event starts at 5:30 and people just hang around, snack and socialize for an hour and a half. Many people don't even stay for the speaker although you are certainly welcome to. Hope to see some of you there tonight!~Elise
SVEC 2014 Open House Reception Friday Nov. 21st!
with talk on Cost-Effective Supercomputing with Highly Parallel Systems
Please rsvp:
SVEC is partnering with Paypal's TechXploration meetup for this event. Please join the Silicon Valley Engineering Council (SVEC) at our annual Open House event Friday November 21st to share contacts, ideas and engineering camaraderie. Join us at eBay/PayPal TownHall for an exciting evening. Colleagues, friends and spouses are invited.
5:30pm The event begins with a networking reception and hors d'oeuvres
7:00pm The speaking program begins
Highlights of the Open House program will include:
• Networking Reception with many local engineers
• Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame 2015 Inductees Announcement
• Talk on "Cost-Effective Supercomputing with Highly Parallel Systems"
• Discover “E” (Engineering) Program for sending engineers to classrooms
• SVEC 2015 Scholarship Program Call for Applications
• SVEC Engineers Week Banquet February 2015 announcement
How to find us: TechXploration takes place at eBay/PayPal Town Hall (2161 North 1st Street, San Jose, CA), which is facing North First Street. It is directly across the street from the Karina Station of VTA/Light Rail in San Jose, CA.
Parking Info: All unmarked spots are up for grabs. When you pull into the campus, look for Town Hall (large building says "Town Hall" above doors, faces North First) and then park where you'd like. Please encourage your guests to register for a more fluid check-in. Please bring a photo ID.
"Cost-Effective Supercomputing with Highly Parallel Systems"
Presentation by: Dr. David Eimerl, Eimex Inc. & Mark Schroeder, Perficio Micro, LLC
Today’s fast-paced, highly integrated, product development environment demands that products be both created and tested in computer simulated environments. Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the choice for most simulations, is used to test stress, heat transfer, electrostatics, electromagnetic fields, and fluid mechanics, … etc. But truly accurate results, especially those with highly coupled problems, demands incredible computational resources. Most modern commercial FEA packages are not only very expensive, but none solve all problem types within the same package. These packages also tend to be restrictive in that, for most problems, they only work within shared memory in one box (that is one workstation). True parallelism is not apparent.
Here we present a highly parallel FEA approach, which uses a combination of Open Source software, US Gov’t mathematics libraries, and a variety of matrix solvers. This combination takes advantage of a distributed system that can make ‘slaves’ of a rack of servers that offer their RAM and processors/threads available to the ‘mother’ process (node). The parallel approach nears zero latency on even a mere Gbit Ethernet network, thereby allowing, during a solution cycle, all hyperthreads (over all servers) to be running at 100% capacity all the time. Relatively inexpensive rack servers can be stacked and networked to create a system that acts like it has thousands of GB of RAM and hundreds, if not thousands of processor cores. This scalability is very linear,… the more servers (RAM and processors) one adds, the faster it goes.
