At SC24 in Atlanta, Rick Knoechel from AMD shared his view on SimOps, Simulation Operations Automation, and its importance for the HPC community.


Cloud HPC vs. On-Premise: Which Is Right for Your Simulation Workload?
In 2020, Nissan Motor Company made a decision that surprised few engineers who had been watching the industry closely: it committed to moving its entire on-premise HPC fleet for performance and engineering simulations to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. One of the world's largest automotive manufacturers, with the budget and scale to justify owning its own clusters, chose to hand off the infrastructure entirely. The same year, a mid-size aerospace supplier was reaching the opposi

In Retrospect: SimOps Community Meetups at LRZ and at ISC 2026
The rising fusion of HPC, Cloud, Data, and AI is unlocking massive scientific breakthroughs, but it is also creating a paradox. While the global HPC-AI market is projected to reach nearly $120 billion by 2029, the infrastructure required to run these workloads has become incredibly intricate. This escalating technological complexity is reshaping how workflows are operated and managed, directly impacting the engineers and operators handling them. To address these shifting dyna

The SimOps Technical Advisory Council: Independent Technical Leadership for Simulation Operations
Executive Summary Simulation Operations (SimOps) is an emerging framework designed to optimize, scale, and industrialize engineering simulations through the integration of people, processes, and technology. Developed and advanced by the SimOps Foundation, it helps organizations transform simulation from isolated technical tasks into a strategic business capability (SimOps). But a framework is only as strong as the expertise that maintains it. As HPC, AI, and cloud and quantum

Preparing Students and Young Professionals for Success in the Age of AI
For decades, students prepared for their first job by acquiring technical knowledge, developing practical skills, and gaining experience through internships and projects. While these fundamentals remain important, the arrival of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing the nature of work. Many students and recent graduates are concerned that AI will automate large portions of their future jobs. News headlines frequently discuss AI replacing programmers, analysts

CFD 101: A Beginner's Guide to Computational Fluid Dynamics
In 1922, a British mathematician named Lewis Fry Richardson had an idea that was, by any reasonable measure, absurd. He wanted to predict the weather through pure calculation. His plan involved 64,000 human "computers," each assigned to a cell on a spherical grid representing the Earth's surface, solving equations in parallel and passing results to their neighbors like a biological supercomputer. Richardson never built his "fantastic weather factory." But the mathematical fra

Quantum Computing 101: Why Quantum Computing Matters for the Future of HPC and SimOps
Quantum computing is rapidly evolving from a theoretical concept into a practical technology with the potential to transform engineering simulation, artificial intelligence, optimization, and scientific discovery. It also carries real implications for how SimOps teams will operate tomorrow's compute environments. A May 2026 HPCwire article, "Quantum Computing 101: Introduction to QC" by Alex Woodie, Editorial Director and HPCwire Managing Editor, provides an excellent overvie
