Leveraging Exascale Era Technology for Advanced Computer-Aided Engineering
Exascale is about to take engineering simulation to new levels of power and fidelity that deliver unprecedented engineering insight into how products like jet engines, next generation aircrafts and medical devices will behave and perform in real world conditions. Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect360, will moderate a discussion with two exemplary technology industry leaders, Bill Mannel, Vice President, High Performance Computing, HPE and Kumaran Siva, Corporate Vice President, Software & Systems Business Development, Server Business Unit, AMD where they will outline the dawn of the “Exascale Era” and provide insights to help manufacturers utilize these same leadership technologies with Computer-Aided Engineering to achieve results like never before.
A downloadable white paper: A new standard in CAE solutions for manufacturing will be available within the video controls at any time when viewing the presentation. Just mouse over the presentation and the icon will appear on the bottom right-hand side.
Bill joined HPE in 2014 and is a seasoned veteran of the servers and high performance computing industry. For Bill’s first five years at HPE, the HPC business grew significantly more than the overall market and the Apollo line of HPC & AI work-load-optimized servers grew to a $1B business. Pure play HPC companies SGI and Cray were acquired and integrated. At the Supercomputing 2015 show, Bill was named “Person to Watch in 2016” by HPCwire.
Bill joined HPE from SGI, where he was the VP and GM for Compute and Storage products. Prior to SGI, Bill worked at NASA and the U.S. Air Force on aircraft programs such X-29, F-16, B-1B, AFTI-111 as well as classified programs. Bill holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science from Duke University and an MBA from San Jose State University, California.
Kumaran has a broad background in processors and networking having worked at Inphi, Broadcom, ARM, and PMC-Sierra. He has an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, and a master’s degree from Harvard University.
