Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Tuesday at EuroPAM 2006 Toulouse, Bull (Billerica, MA) and ESI Group(Paris, France) announced that they have partnered to bring support for ESIGroup's PAM-CRASH crash simulation solutions to Bull NovaScale serversand Bull NovaScale clusters. Additionally, according to theannouncement, a follow-up step in this developing partnership calls forthe deployment of all of ESI Group CAE solutions on Bull NovaScaleservers and clusters.
As an example of the performance and scalability, the companiesdescribed a modeling and simulating a 2-million element car model on aNovaScale cluster consisting of 128 Intel Itanium2 processors. Theyreported that full-scale tests of car to car crashes showed "impressivelevels of performance and scalability with a reported 89% efficiency on64 processors and more than 78% efficiency on the full 128]processors], thus enabling critically important overnight restitutiontimes for the highly detailed models. ..."
Bull's HPC solutions are built using NovaScale Intensive and Universalservers. The NovaScale Intensive is an Intel Itanium 2 dual-coreprocessor system, and the NovaScale Universal is an Intel Xeondual-core processor system. NovaScale servers can accommodate up to 32sockets.
The companies say that their RandD teams will cooperate on otherprojects to further enhance the scalability of ESI Group's solutions onNovaScale systems. For more about the ESI Group, click here. Click herefor the Bull North America website.
