Slide 2:Microsoft Institute for High Performance Computing @ Southampton
Dr Kenji Takeda & Prof Simon Cox “Our aim is to demonstrate why, where, and how we are exploiting current and future Microsoft tools and technologies to make the engineering design process faster, cheaper and better.” www.mihpc.net Recently announced in November 2005 by Bill Gates at Supercomputing 2005 conference in Seattle. One of 6 universities worldwide funded to drive innovation in the technical computing field Helping to define Microsoft technical computing products in the futureRecently announced in November 2005 by Bill Gates at Supercomputing 2005 conference in Seattle.

Slide 3:Centre for Fluid Mechanics Simulation
“To develop means to dramatically increase simulation power, revolutionise the design process and transform user interface in order to provide tools to exploit multi-disciplinary optimisation and so bring products to market in extremely short timescales” Consortium includes: Airbus, ARA, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, BMT Fluid Mechanics, MBDA, and WilliamsF1… University of Southampton, School of Engineering Sciences will develop proof of concepts with Airbus, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems developed between showing how “…current and future Microsoft tools, technologies and platforms can be exploited to make the engineering design process faster, cheaper and better.”
Slide 4:Overview
Introduction Software + Services User driven Proof of Concepts (PoC) Rolls Royce Airbus BAE Q&A
Slide 5:Introduction
Objectives Accelerate the understanding of engineering systems and product development Investigate the enterprise engineering process Separate infrastructure from engineering Using user-driven Proof of Concepts (PoC) What is a PoC? What is a PoC?
Slide 6:Software + Services
Fat client or thin Client Local or mobile or cloud application S+S is a hybrid of designs REST SOA SaaS Web 2.0
Slide 7:Rolls Royce PoC
Formalise the engineering design and optimisation process (currently script based) Orchestration of computationally intensive Gas Turbine blade simulation Key Technologies Windows Workflow Foundation Windows HPC Server (v1) Visual Studio 2005
Slide 9:Rolls Royce PoC -Features
Workflow Reusability Quality assurance Separation of WF user and WF creator Tracking (Data provenience or monitoring) Interoperability between Windows and Linux Demonstrated applicability of commodity technologies to challenging engineering problems
Slide 10:Airbus PoC
Data Intensive collaborative working across multiple sites Business objects Model -> Mesh -> Flow solution Key Technologies Sharepoint Server Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
Slide 12:Airbus PoC - Features
LDAP/AD user credentials Interoperability with existing systems (Python client) Robust, reliable and scalable (multi-site) Demonstrated considerable simplification and consolidation of technology stack using Microsoft technologies
Slide 13:BAE PoC
How to capture and retain knowledge Provide an audit trail and thought process How to introduce new engineers to ongoing work Key Technologies (mostly Beta & RC) Windows Server 2008 – HyperV RC0 Windows HPC Server 2008 Beta 2 SQL Server 2008 CTP6 Office Communication Server
Slide 14:BAE PoC - Features
Custom client Start tasks Associate documents/files/chats/workflows with task Full text search Virtualised infrastructure (Hyper-V) Knowledge capture (automatic OCS chat saving) Multiple data format search ( Ifilter in SQL server) File streaming (SQL managed data files)
Slide 15:Summary
Each PoC addresses a different area of the enterprise engineering process Demonstrated technology capabilities Each PoC is a general case and the solutions applicable to other domains By separating audit and infrastructure, workers can focus on their expert areas
