Framework: ARES
High Performance Computing Auto-Scheduler & Control
Sim4Life offers high performance computing to enable the investigation of complex and realistic models. Multi-threaded execution for modeling, meshing, voxeling, and postprocessing enables parallel processing of heavy tasks without disturbing the workflow. A fully integrated centralized task manager efficiently manages all computationally intensive tasks on the local machine or in the cloud.
The Asynchronous Remote Server (ARES) automatically distributes any computationally intensive task to local or remote HPC resources (GPU/ CPU, cluster, cloud).
Sim4Life features the fastest graphics processing unit (GPU)-enabled EM-FDTD and ultrasound (US) solvers (P-EM-FDTD & P-ACOUSTICS), supporting the latest hardware, e.g., NVIDIA Maxwell and Pascal architectures (K80,
Titan, P100, etc.).
The MPI parallelization-based FEM solvers' (P-EM-QS and P-FLOW) framework makes optimal use of multi-core processors, clusters, and supercomputers for extreme performance.
A unified interface supports cloud computing on various major providers.
- Remote execution via cloud (e.g., Amazon), localhost, GPU server, MPI cluster, p2p, etc.
- Heavily multi-threaded execution for modeling, meshing, voxeling, and postprocessing
- Queuing control instances, statistics
- Solver control via Sim4Life GUI
- Intelligent job submission
- Job progress via a web browser (http based) on mobile devices, etc.
