◾ Industrial Applications’ Journey to Supercomputing at Renault
Yves Tourbier, MARC PARIENTE · 2015
Renault has no intention of directly developing simulation tools, using commercial tools and implementing collaborative projects with soware vendors and French laboratories to improve the performance of these tools. Renault uses national or European (through PRACE) HPC facilities in collaborative research projects, while numerical simulations for the vehicle or powertrain projects use in-house HPC only. As a result of these collaborations, Renault funds new PhDs every year in the eld of numerical simulation. Renault also participates in an IRT (Institut de Recherche Technologique) SYSTEM X project dealing with the use of Model Reduction and Multiphysics Optimization.
