The world is changing The world is changing Digital simulation will be the key contributor to overcome 21 st century challenges, provided it can rely on intensive computing resources
Designing more environment-friendly engines Challenges Reduce Co2 emission 2x by 2020, and 4x by 2050 Reduce fuel consumption by 15% Reduce noise More and more complex models are required Worldwide leader for aircraft engines. The new LEAP engine is already 16% more fuelefficient, 16% more Co2 efficient and 15db less noisy SAFRAN needs to increase its computing resources by 70% -100% each year It s time to shift to a new computing scale
Leveraging genomics for better diagnosis & treatment Challenges Offer more in-depth and comprehensive genomic analyses to healthcare organizations to improve diagnosis and treatments CNAG sequences over 800 billion genomic bases every day and needs to conduct quick, accurate analysis at the lowest cost Spain s National Center of Genomic Analysis is involved in large scale sequencing projects in areas as diverse as cancer genetics and rare diseases. The assembly of millions of reads into a genome sequence requires substantial computational power and a complete High Performance Data Analytics It s time to shift to a new computing scale
Re-inventing agriculture to meet 21st century demand Challenges Population growth: 8.5 billion people in 2030 Reduction of the use of pesticide by 30% Proactivity to climate change, ground quality alteration or plant behavior Based on sensors, using complex models, precision agriculture will contribute to better use of fertilizers or agriculture inputs In the last 10 years, Precision Agriculture has improved practice. 70-80% of new farm equipment sold has now some form of PA component inside. It requires massive computing and Big Data resources It s time to shift to a new computing scale
Imagining smart cities for high-quality urban services Challenges 70% of the worldwide population will live in cities within a few decades. Enhancing quality, cost and performance of urban services is critical to keep citizens safe, healthy, prosperous and well-informed Smart city projects handle millions of connected objects. They use large-scale data to address real-world challenges in an urban context Real-estate valuation Urban planning Motion of citizens Disease spread monitoring Traffic management It s time to shift to a new computing scale
Relying on fine-grain models to better anticipate severe weather phenomena Challenges Issue forecasts every hour Enable local weather prediction Predict and localize severe phenomena New models and the processing of a greater number of data and observations require more computing resources and an efficient capability to compute massive data Finer mesh size 2.5 km today 500 m soon for strategic areas such as airports 180 PB by 2018 It s time to shift to a new computing scale.
It s all about simulating & analyzing ever-more complex phenomena Explosion of computing resources Computing power X 1000 From petaflops to exaflops Explosion of data Data pools X 1000 From petabytes to exabytes EXTREME COMPUTING EXTREME DATA 1,000000000,000000000
It s time to shift to a new computing scale Bull sequana X1000 It s time for a new generation of supercomputers It s time for sequana, the first exascale-class supercomputer
