4. Design

5. Structural Optimisation

6. Modern engineering firms are global and distributed “Not just a problem of using HPC” CAD and analysis tools, user interfaces, PSEs, and Visualization Optimisation methods Data archives (e.g. design/ system usage) Knowledge repositories & knowledge capture and reuse tools. Management of distributed compute and data resources How to … ? … improve design environments … cope with legacy code / systems … integrate large-scale systems in a flexible way … produce optimized designs … archive and re-use design history … capture and re-use knowledge Design Challenges

7. The Grid Problem “Flexible and secure sharing of resources among dynamic collections of individuals within and across organisations” F Resources = assets, capabilities, and knowledge v Capabilities (e.g. application codes, analysis tools) v Compute Grids (PC cycles, commodity clusters, HPC) v Data Grids v Experimental Instruments v Knowledge Services v Virtual Organisations v Utility Services Grid middleware mediates between these resources

8. Geodise will provide grid-based seamless access to an intelligent knowledge repository, a state-of-the-art collection of optimisation and search tools, industrial strength analysis codes, and distributed computing & data resources G EODISE

20. Matlab F Matlab and toolboxes for mathematical computation, analysis, visualization, and algorithm development: “MATLAB is an intuitive language and a technical computing environment. It provides core mathematics and advanced graphical tools for data analysis, visualization, and algorithm and application development. With more than 600 mathematical, statistical, and engineering functions, engineers and scientists rely on the MATLAB environment for their technical computing needs.” ( www.mathworks.com ) F Industry usage v Aerospace v Defense v Automotive v Biotech v Pharmaceutical v Medical CROSS PLATFORM/ OS

21. Matlab F Flexibility v Integrated Development Environment v Provides full GUI Support and can integrate code from Fortran, C, Java, & Web/ Grid Services F Monitoring v Command line/ batch mode F Maintainable v Matlab Scripts readable and editable by Engineers F Usability v Already in widespread use by Engineers

22. Grid Computing from Matlab F Globus commands (based on Java CoG v0.9.13) v gd_CreateProxyCertVisual v gd_BatchSubmit v gd_JobStatus v gd_GetFile (GSIftp v0.9.14) v gd_PutFile (GSIftp v0.9.14) F Database commands v gd_archive v gd_query v gd_retrieve

25. The future of design optimisation Design Optimisation needs integrated services F Design improvements driven by CAD tools coupled to advanced analysis codes (CFD, FEA, CEM etc.) F On demand heterogeneous distributed computing and data spread across companies and time zones. F Optimization “for the masses” alongside manual search as part of a problem solving environment. F Knowledge based tools for advice and control of process as well as product. Geodise will provide grid-based seamless access to an intelligent knowledge repository, a state-of-the-art collection of optimisation and search tools, industrial strength analysis codes, and distributed computing and data resources

26. Conclusions F Grid is not just about computing F Grid must be provided to users in a familiar environment F Services need semantics F Workflow is an important issue F … Agnostic about operating system
