About SimOps

SimOps, Simulation Operations is an independent non-profit organization and strategic framework designed to optimize, standardize, and automate simulation processes and high-performance compute and data infrastructures within engineering and product development.

At SC24 in Atlanta, in his inaugural address, Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect360, shared his view on the importance of the research & industry community initiative SimOps.

Mission

The non-profit SimOps Foundation is dedicated to advancing the field of simulation operations by empowering the global engineering and HPC operations community through education, collaboration, and innovation.

Our mission is to enrich the entire HPC, AI, Cloud, and Engineering Simulation and Data ecosystem by providing a one-stop shop of resources such as training courses, a rich SimOps software stack, fostering knowledge exchange, and promoting Best Practices that enhance the efficiency, scalability, the impact of simulation processes, the productivity of the simulation engineers, and the quality of their products.

By uniting stakeholders across the engineering simulation and data ecosystem, we aim to drive progress, inspire innovation, and ensure that simulation operations play a pivotal role in shaping the future of engineering and product development.
