DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURABLE MODELING CLOUD

​

The ETC is seeking a collaboration partner interested in providing accelerated access to flexibly deployed computing resources to meet member companies’ needs and enhance collaboration.

​

Moving computationally heavy scientific simulation to cloud computing platforms like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and others is an increasing trend in the industry as a more efficient alternative to expanding in-house high performance computing. One of the biggest challenges with such platforms is the migration of software licenses either to the cloud or to some mechanism for a cloud platform to see the license server behind company’s firewall. The goal of this project is to create an elastic cloud computing facility that has a pay-as-you-go license structure for multiple stipulated software packages and large arrays of computing resources able to accelerate the results from simulations on demand.
