Supporting SMEs competitiveness through ICT and cloud computing

CloudPYME is a supercomputing infrastructure addressed to small and medium enterprises. We offer scientific and technical computing resources. It allows the companies to connect to the technological infrastructure host by the Supercomputing Centre of Galicia (CESGA) and to test virtual prototypes, simulations, analyses, optimizing processes, etc. in a secure and reliable way.

Companies can try the platform freely for a limited time.

Our goal is working with end users within different industry sectors, involved in manufacturing, rendering, financial analysis, or any other activity that could benefit from high performance computing (HPC).

By using CloudPYME, SMEs will improve their product and process design, providing them with a competitive edge.

CloudPYME offers:

  • Virtual workstation with running software. You only need your browser to start working.
  • Remote simulations, free your in-house computers from costly computing processes.
  • HPC and PLM Tools. Numerical simulation to test your virtual prototypes.
  • 1000 compute hours. On demand, tailored to your needs, in a secure and reliable way.
  • Consulting services. We advise companies on how to make the most out of HPC in their innovation projects.
  • Technical Support. Provided by expert technicians.

The supercomputing infrastructure developed under CloudPYME provides enterprises with many competitive advantages. The resources and applications supplied reduce the design and innovation costthat the manufacture of products by SMEs involve.

Among the uses of HPC are advanced modelling and simulation, performing complex calculation and high definition 3D graphical rendering. Thanks to these utilities, companies gain a competitive edge that will reflect on an efficient product design, a greater capacity for data analysis and better manufacturing processes.

Whilst capabilities in R&D+i are improved, its advantages also include a substantial reduction in the time, effort and costs required to bring products to market.

Summary of advantages of CloudPYPME:

  • It is cheaper, reducing development costs.
  • It is faster, shortening the time to market the product.
  • It is simpler, new designs can be evaluated without creating physical models .
  • It is adaptable, improved designs of the products can be tested.
  • It is flexible, tests can be repeated with different parameters.

CloudPYME offers your company a ready to use software suite, extendable to suit the needs of different areas such as scientific analysis, bioinformatics, calculation of structural fluid and magnetism, simulation, molecular computing, scientific visualization, animation, etc.

Software included by default:

  • Salomé-Meca: is a free software for pre and post-processing for numerical simulation.  It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components.
  • Code_Aster: is a software for finite element analysis and numerical simulation in structural mechanics and multiphysics. Code Aster is a solver or processing engine that does not include pre and post-processing. Its functions may cover various fields such as 3D mechanical and thermal analyses, mainly, but also hydrodynamics, metallurgy, hydration, drying… in linear and non-linear statics and dynamics. In addition, Code_Aster counts with different tools to deal with issues related to fatigue, damage, fracture, contact, geomaterials, porous media, multi-physics coupling.
  • Open Foam: is a software oriented towards structural, fluid flows and electromagnetic calculation. It includes CFD Toolbox, a free and open source software developed by OpenFOAM Ltd with an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
  • MaxFem: is a software for electromagnetic simulation, also using the Finite Element Method. It has been designed to solve problems in electrostatics, direct current, magnetostatics and two and three dimensional eddy-currents in cartesian or cylindrical coordinates.
  • Franc3D: is a software for analyse and 3D simulaton of “crack grow” in structures.
  • ELMER: is a software for multi-physic simulation under the Finite Element Method (FEM). Among others, Elmer can solve problems on fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer and acoustics.
A constantly evolving platform.
  • Other software such as spreadsheets or data analysis packages might be installed to fit the company’s needs.
  • Implementation of new applications, like ELMER, is in the works.
  • Active listeners: just let us know what new applications you are interested in.

Galicia Supercomputing Center has more than 100 applications available for multiple fields such as scientific analysis, bioinformatics, calculation of structural fluid and magnetism, simulation, molecular computing, scientific visualization, animation, etc. (see full list of applications).
