Atos to empower automotive digital manufacturing processes with
high-performance computing for AVL List
Paris, France
– January
12,
2023 – Atos
today announces that it has been selected by Austrian AVL List GmbH
to deliver a new high-performance computing cluster based on
BullSequana XH2000 servers along with a five-year maintenance
service. As the world’s leading mobility technology provider for
development, simulation and testing in the automotive industry, the
company will rely on Atos’ supercomputer to drive more complex and
powerful simulations, while optimizing its energy consumption.
As a global supplier to the automotive industry,
AVL provides its customers with highly complex computer simulations
for the design, development and testing of powertrains, workpieces,
drive units and large engines. Every step of the way, the processes
are represented digitally and require high, reliable computer
performance as well as storage capacity. The cluster is used for a
wide range of applications, from finite element analysis (FEA) for
structural optimization and crash simulations to fluid mechanics
simulations of combustion processes and battery cooling. Commercial
software packages of well-known manufacturers as well as AVL-List's
own Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package FIRE are
used for this task.
The new computer network implemented by Atos has
more than doubled the computational performance in engineering and
therefore the processing times of computational tasks in customer
projects could be reduced by more than half. In addition, it is
possible to offer a greater variety of calculation results without
having to access external compute resources such as cloud
instances. This results in rapid and efficient adaptations of
engineering workflows to new tasks.
With this cluster, AVL also benefits from a
highly energy-efficient system, including Atos’ Direct Liquid
Cooling (DLC). This technology has been developed to avoid
overheating. It consumes significantly less electricity than
conventional cooling systems while ensuring almost noiseless,
particularly stable operation.
"AVL’s passion is innovation and Atos’
supercomputer meets that requirement in terms of performance and
energy-efficiency. The Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology of
the XH2000 cluster has opened up an unprecedented performance
range, with minimal energy requirements and a green footprint,
because 95 per cent of the waste heat is not released into the
environment, but is put to further use via the cooling water
circuit," explained Günter Bachler, Senior IT System
Administrator, AVL List GmbH.
Stefan Kero, Head of Advanced
Computing, Central Eastern
Europe, Atos, added: "High-performance
computers are among the key technologies of our time and have
become indispensable in Sciences, Medical Research, Weather
Forecast but also in the Industry, especially in digital product
development. With HPC, industrial players can accelerate the
construction of digital prototypes – which can be run through
quickly and as often as desired in a multitude of variants –
therefore gain flexibility and innovative strength. We are glad to
be supporting AVL to simulate and test automotive technologies, for
a safer mobility."
