Chip maker, Altair has announced a business collaboration with Microsoft to build and offer high-performance computing (HPC) solutions on the Azure cloud computing platform. As part of the collaboration, Altair will work closely with Microsoft to develop turnkey solutions allowing users to access high-performance cloud computing (HPC) resources in Azure from any web-enabled device. These solutions will leverage Altair’s PBS Works platform in Azure to enable intuitive web portal access and secure workload management for rapid, scalable access to Azure HPC resources.
According to Altair, initial solutions will target manufacturing’s increasing HPC demand to run compute-intensive simulations such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), crash and safety analysis, optimization and electromagnetics.
Rob Walsh, Vice President of Business Development, Altair
