Join us in the latest series of High-performance computing (HPC) webinars led by top Microsoft partners to learn how to plan, implement, optimize, and manage your HPC solutions running on Azure.  Each webinar will focus on targeted industry solutions highlighting business benefits, solution capabilities, and architectural options to support your computing needs.  Connect with experts who can help develop and implement a cloud strategy that scales to match your growing enterprise.  

If you are in the middle of your corporate digital transformation journey, and you are aiming to also include your High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment, you might consider UberCloud's Engineering Simulation Environment as well. But moving HPC workstations, servers, and applications to Azure yourself requires expertise, people, and time, and trying this yourself might come with high risk. The alternative is to work with experts in this field like UberCloud, and make use of our latest award-winning, fully automated, and self-service engineering simulation platform and our unique HPC containers hosting all your simulation workflows.
 
In this webinar, you will learn about the:
- on-boarding process supported by UberCloud together with the Azure team
- UberCloud Engineering Simulation Platform and workflow containers, and how other companies have adopted the cloud 
- major benefits for your business and your product development
 
And we let partners and customers have their say about their use of the Azure/UberCloud simulation platform and their HPC simulation workflow containers:
 
Antigoni Chrysostomou, EMEA Business Leader for Azure HPC
Gilberto Osornio Nieto, Senior CFD Engineer at Buro Happold
Manfred Ferstl, Head of IT Infrastructure at DEHN
Johan Mikkelä, Head of Solution Architecture at FLSmidth
Ivan Krajinović, Simulations Manager at Rimac Automobili

Optimizing Bioinformatics and Data Workflows in the Azure Cloud

In this webinar, we will discuss best practices aimed at accelerating the time from choice to execution to results. To minimize your time-to-results, it’s critical you make the right choices for your specific use case … and then execute. But the right choices aren’t always obvious, and requirements may change from run-to-run. When faced with the almost daunting array of possibilities offered by public clouds such as Microsoft Azure, is there a sensible way to proceed?  

We take a deeper dive in two ways:   

1. Making the transition to oneAPI ASAP – as oneAPI eliminates the need to choose  
2. Fast-tracking your HPC cloud use with blueprints – as blueprints eliminate IT as a distraction from your science or engineering   

The best way to get a ‘feel’ for oneAPI-based blueprints is to see them in action. In this webinar, specific examples will include:  

•  oneAPI blueprints for developers – by making use of Microsoft Visual Studio with the Intel oneAPI toolchain on Azure  
•  Blueprints for the Life Sciences – using GROMACS simulations for the purpose of illustration 
•  Blueprints for manufacturing – featuring Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

For nearly two decades compute cycles have been the primary, often only, dimension considered for scheduling jobs in an HPC infrastructure.  Now, HPC has gone multi-dimensional. 
 
Competitive HPC systems optimize for more than CPUs and even GPUs. They can schedule across the many critical dimensions of modern infrastructure including software licenses, data storage requirements, and importantly, to and between owned on-premise resources and on-demand assets in the cloud. 

In this webinar, Altair and Microsoft will discuss three workload management capabilities that are critical to ensuring your high-performance computing infrastructure can optimize the use of cloud resources and edge out the competition in today’s multi-dimensional cloud landscape. 

Topics will include: 
 • License-aware scheduling in the cloud 
 • Storage (I/O- aware) scheduling
 • Cloud scaling, migration and automation 

Who Should Attend? 
This webinar is ideal for HPC and IT stakeholders and enthusiasts interested in an introduction to multi-dimensional job scheduling. Attendees will come away with an understanding of the distinct cloud scaling, migration and automation tools that can empower their organization to optimize the use of cloud resources in Microsoft Azure, as well as how to leverage license-aware scheduling and storage/I/O to achieve breakthrough results. Attendees will be able to participate in a live Q&A with our expert hosts and fellow attendees.

Multi-dimensional HPC for Breakthrough Results in the Cloud

Life insurers are facing increased pressures on both people and infrastructure. This may be due to increased competition, greater regulatory demands, or simply more uncertainty. In turn senior management requires more detailed, frequent, and timely management information and investigation. To meet these pressures, insurers require a highly robust, scalable, and efficient risk modelling platform. 

In this webinar, Milliman and Microsoft will discuss how to empower risk teams to handle such pressures, exploring the uses of cloud technology within the context of insurance risk modelling.

Who Should Attend?
This webinar is ideal for senior managers in life insurers or connected businesses looking to improve efficiency and derive more value from their insurance risk modelling. Attendees will come away with an understanding of the benefits that Azure based data management, calculation, and reporting solutions can provide. Attendees will be able to participate in a Q&A with our expert hosts.
