| Accelerating Physics Using Quantum Computing and Synergies with Machine Learning
As the frontiers of computational physics evolve, the convergence of quantum computing and machine learning offers unparalleled opportunities to tackle longstanding challenges in simulation and optimization. This talk presents Ansys' pioneering efforts in integrating these cutting-edge technologies to accelerate physics-based computations and enhance the efficiency of complex engineering tasks. By leveraging quantum algorithms applied to large matrix operations, we are researching how to accelerate linear and nonlinear PDEs.
Our exploration into hybrid quantum-classical methods include Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs), Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution (QITE) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs). Strategic partnerships with IonQ, Nvidia have further empowered us to focus on quantum algorithms research without being affected by noisy quantum hardware, which is all we have at the moment. Further, with innovative uses of quantum kernels and quantum circuits as analogs to neural network layers, our work bridges the gap between theoretical quantum advantages and machine learning. This presentation outlines the technological readiness levels, current obstacles and future research directions that promise to redefine physics-based computation.

| Liquid Cooling: The Future of Thermal Management for High-Density Electronics
Liquid cooling for electronics has emerged as a vital solution for managing thermal challenges in high-performance computing, data centers, and compact electronic devices. The advantages of liquid cooling include superior heat transfer capabilities compared to traditional air cooling, enabling lower operating temperatures, higher performance, and increased reliability of electronic systems. It also reduces noise levels associated with high-speed fans, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
As electronic devices continue to evolve in terms of power density and thermal output, liquid cooling stands out as a promising technology that ensures optimal thermal management and supports the demands of modern computing applications.
This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of Ansys solutions for liquid cooling starting from the component level to data center level modeling

| Accelerated Reordering
Sparse matrix factorization is frequently the main computational bottleneck in implicit mechanical computer-aided engineering (MCAE). Minimizing the operations and storage required to factor these sparse matrices is NP-complete, so the nested dissection heuristic is commonly used to reduce these demands. Nested dissection is a recursive process that finds balanced min-cut partitions within the graph representing the sparse matrix’s non-zero structure, an NP-hard problem itself. A new generation of accelerators is being developed for addressing NP optimization problems. In this talk, we share our experiences using the LightSolver Laser Processing Unit to address the reordering of sparse matrices, and its potential to reduce run times and improve the scalability of implicit mechanical simulations.

| Optimizing Ansys LS-DYNA Simulation Costs by Running Multiple Job Containers with NUMA Affinity on a Single VM
Simr, formerly UberCloud, is a SimOps or Simulation Operations Automation platform that enables enterprise organizations to leverage the cloud for HPC. The Simr platform uses Kubernetes to orchestrate and deploy HPC clusters in multiple regions with minimal overhead. Simulation applications are packaged within OCI compliant containers to enable seamless workload deployment on the cloud.
To optimize simulation costs for an automotive customer running smaller 30-CPU LS-DYNA sled test models, Simr developed a solution that orchestrates multiple job containers on a single 120 CPU core HB120 V3 instance (AMD EPYC 7V73X). The technology aligns the number of jobs with the NUMA nodes on the instance. Each 30-CPU simulation, when assigned to a NUMA node, takes 50 hours to complete on a HB120 V3, compared to the 41 hours on legacy 36 CPU cores machines. However, since four jobs can run in parallel, the cost per job on the AMD instance is reduced by 75% compared to benchmarks, resulting in higher job throughput and significantly lower cloud-based simulation costs for the customer.
