Shortening Time to Solution with AcuSolve on Azure’s New HBv3 Offering
With faster computers comes new complexities that, if understood, can be mastered to yield significant application performance and cost improvements. In this breakout session, we will investigate how the Azure HBv3 offering, with increased memory bandwidth and L3 cache, can drastically reduce time to solution for AcuSolve at scale. We will cover some benchmarks and show how they perform on Azure at various scale points. This data will enable AcuSolve users to reduce time to solution so they can dedicate more time to improving their product.

Right-size Your HPC Infrastructure
Every organization has different workload needs, and those needs can change from day to day and minute to minute. How can you know what HPC resources you’ll need?
Join Altair expert Matt Bonyak to find out more about managing, optimizing, and forecasting your compute resources, including capacity planning and policy optimization. He’ll talk about how to right-size your HPC infrastructure and he’ll demonstrate the all-new workload simulator in Altair Control™ — a digital twin for your datacenter.
Control’s scheduling simulator runs tens of times faster than real-time testing, with minimal up-front configuration and significantly lower cost. Plus you get the confidence of knowing it’s built using the industry-leading Altair PBS Professional™ scheduler. Now you can measure real-world impact in advance of change

Leverage the Cloud to Augment Your HPC Power
Productivity drops when users are waiting in long job queues. With seamless cloud bursting, you can scale up during peak times and enable flexible capacity to meet business needs.
Join Altair HPC and CAE expert Ian Littlewood to find out how cloud bursting can help your organization. He demonstrates bursting to the cloud with Altair Control™ — a good choice for those with limited on-premises resources.
Participants will get answers to questions including:
Why burst to the cloud?
What do I need to burst to the cloud?
How do I configure cloud bursting?
What does an automated burst look like?
How does this affect the user experience? (Tip: It doesn’t)
What does a job and data lifecycle look like?
Which cloud use cases are supported?
What controls are available for cloud bursting?
How do we decide on cloud burstable workload?
What is our license model?
During the webinar, you’ll hear about node bursting and unbursting, how to configure cloud bursting, and managing the job lifecycle with tools like Altair Access™ and Altair PBS Professional™ — both part of the Altair PBS Works™ workload management suite. You’ll also learn about bursting on various HPC architectures including premises-to-cloud and cloud-to-cloud, and how you can change cloud providers in minutes, with a few simple clicks.
