Global industry examples of companies using HPC Technology
Wal-Mart uses HPC modelling to optimise its supply chain, including performing daily stock analysis across its entire worldwide shop network
Fed-Ex uses HPC systems to simulate and plan the delivery of millions of items around the world each day through its fleet of 600+ aircraft and 75,000 vehicles
The NASDAQ Stock Exchange uses HPC to process over two billion transactions daily at rates of more than 200,000 transactions per second. Technology costs were reduced by 70% in the last three years using commodity HPC hardware.
Motorola uses HPC to produce models and simulations of wireless devices and radio links needed to develop global telecommunications services. The effects of buildings and geographical features on wireless signals can be accurately predicted using HPC enabling potential problems to be designed out
Texaco uses HPC technology to process vast amounts of seismic data, enabling deposits of oil and natural gas to be identified in sand layers.
DreamWorks Animation SKG produces all its animated movies using HPC graphic technology.
Whirlpool Corporation uses HPC to carry out fluid dynamics simulations for its dishwashers and washing machines – it has reduced he number of prototypes that need to be built and tested, reduced design and manufacturing costs and enhanced product quality.
Caterpillar Inc uses HPC virtual reality to improve the efficiency of heavy earth moving equipment. Design changes that once took up to nine months to implement can be made in less than one month.
GE Aviation and Energy has advanced its product line using HPC processing in the design process to produce engines that are quieter, more efficient and produce les emissions than previously possible.
Goodyear Tyres use HPC to increase the speed of their design and modelling. Tread wear tests that previously took months can be carried out in minutes, reducing the cost of testing from 40% of their R&D budget to just 15%
Portland Cement Association has developed a virtual testing system using HPC that reduces the need for costly and time-consuming physical testing of cement.
Proctor & Gamble used HPC analysis to design the right geometric shape for Pringles crisps to facilitate more efficient production and packaging.
Bayer Schering Pharmaceutical used HPC simulations to design a device that would speed up the treatment of stroke victims. By using simulation instead of traditional bench testing the device could be utilised 10 months ahead of schedule.
