Enhancing engagement between MidPlus and industry

该项目将建立一个合作框架，使业界能够以商业上可行和可持续的方式获得高性能计算设施和行业标准商业软件包。特别是，我们将与三家软件供应商（MathWorks、ESI和Wilde）合作，制作案例研究，展示中小企业在HPC设施上获得高质量软件所带来的竞争优势。该项目还将探索与HPC按需一致的更灵活的许可模式的选择，并将评估中小企业的范围，特别是MidPlus地区的工程和制造部门，以利用HPC来改善其产品设计和开发周期。

This project will establish a collaborative framework in which industry can access both High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities and industry standard commercial software packages in a commercially viable and sustainable manner. In particular, we will work with three software vendors (MathWorks, ESI and Wilde) to produce case studies demonstrating the competitive advantage to SMEs that can arise from access to quality software on HPC facilities. The project will also explore the options for more flexible licensing models that are consistent with HPC-on-demand, and will evaluate the scope for SMEs, particularly within the Engineering and Manufacturing sectors within the MidPlus region, to exploit HPC in improving their product design and development cycles.
