• Engineering domains using HPC:
✓ Flight Physics - Aerodynamics design and data
✓ Structure - Optimization, composite, virtual testing, global
Finite Element Method
✓ Power plant - Noise of turbo machinery, CROR, airframe,
cabin & cockpit noise
✓ Systems - Lightning, fuel
✓Multi Disciplinary Optimization
• HPC at Airbus is a key enabler for Engineering to achieve
the main objectives of new Aircraft programmes:
✓ Optimize the level of performance
✓ Increase maturity at entry into service
✓ Deal with the complexity
✓ Answer to certification requirements
✓ Decrease lead time and costs

Current Technology
• Number of core will
increase
• Energy by socket will be
stable
• CPU clock frequency will
decrease
• Single core performance
will decrease
Need to Scale
2nd April 2019 HPCXXL Conference, Gerd Büttner
Top 6 – November 2018
6 different processor types /acceleratorIBM Power/NVIDIA, Sunway FPGA, Intel Xeon / THE-2, Intel Xeon/NVIDIA, Intel Xeon / Intel Phi
2nd April 2019 HPCXXL Conference, Gerd Büttner
Software Scalability
21
Software is the #1 roadblock
2nd April 2019 HPCXXL Conference, Gerd Büttner
Outlook
• New high scalable CFD Code will be available
• AMD „Rome“ will be used.
− The AMD „Rome“ chip has ¼ more memory capacity /bandwidth compared with Intel Skylake
• General the CPU become data mover, Compute Power are from Accelerators (GPUs or Vector Units)
• ARM become a serious Player on CPU market (not at Skylake level, but not far away)
