OptiHPC  by  IgnitionComputing  · since 2020

Smarter simulations

Before it exists, it's simulated. OptiHPC optimizes every layer of simulating on HPC, so your results are trustworthy and your runs keep up with your engineering speed — and every run makes the next one smarter.

The problem

“Tuned” is a state, not an achievement

Keeping simulations correct and quick requires the concerted effort of several specialists, supporting your business — and the gains you hand-tune decay with every new machine, new regime, and code release. The hard part is staying tuned, but the common strategy of relying on procedures does not work. Discipline loses to automation, so we instead focus on minimizing reliance on human effort.

The suite

One objective, four levers

Every layer of simulating on HPC has levers. OptiHPC optimizes the entire ladder, data-driven: Every level records metadata, models train and optimize, and predictions return for the next runs. You focus on the simulations that matter to your business, and your scientists and engineers stay at the controls.

OptiSchedule

“Where should the work run?”

Wraps your run script and decides how the job should be sized for this case, on this machine — based on domain expertise combined with learned knowledge about your runs, instead of folklore core counts.

OptiSolve

“Are we solving the equations right?”

Rides your runs and sets solver, preconditioner, and initial guess per solve. As it does not touch discretization, convergence criteria, or physics, and therefore works with zero risk, it is the building block that our higher-level products rely on.

OptiPrecision Coming soon

“How converged is converged enough?”

Sets tolerances and relaxation to the digit budget your result actually needs, avoiding paying for every unneeded digit, many times per run. Provides you with information required for trade-off between accuracy and computational cost.

OptiMesh Coming soon

“How much work needs to exist?”

Time step and mesh decide how much work exists and are therefore the biggest lever. OptiMesh adapts them under quantified error budget.

Delivery through set of secure and user-friendly adapters that require minimal adaptation or recompilation, plus a local library and a datastore with models — on our servers or fully on-premise. Your data is never shared with anyone else.

Measured

Proof, auditable in your logs

OptiHPC products ride your runs and report their decisions, so you can audit them. The predictions come with confidence intervals, and the models are trained on your own runs. Some results for OptiSolve, measured against the baseline:

2.2×reactingParcelFoam tutorials
CPU-cabinet flow + conduction case
3.4×bent-pipe case
4.3×client case

Speed-ups on the solver stage — typically 20–35% of total simulation time — measured per case.

Who we are

Built in Eindhoven, since 2020

OptiHPC is developed by Ignition Computing — experts in nuclear fusion, physics, mathematics, and computer science. The products encode that expertise as data-driven software; the consultancy applies it directly to your codes with development, integrations, and support.
