QLogic customers such as Toyota, Lockheed Martin, Diahatsu Motors, and Canon are utilizing QLogic High Performance Computing interconnect solutions for applications requiring computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), crash simulation, process modeling, and airfoil simulations. These customers are benefiting from QLogic product solutions to realize competitive advantage by better product designs and quicker time to market.

Today's challenging economic climate and globally competitive markets make lowering manufacturing costs more critical than ever. Whether you're an aerospace engineer designing a new wing for the latest commercial jet or an automotive engineer simulating multi-car crashes for the next generation of SUVs, the ability to run simulations faster will increase productivity, speed time-to-market, and improve your company's bottom line.

Companies in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and high-tech machinery can realize significant benefits utilizing QLogic high performance computing solutions. QLogic’s products enable companies to perform process simulation, modeling, and optimization at a highly increased rate so that customers can both get products to market faster but also at a much lower cost of prototyping and final production.

QLogic maintains a robust set of technology partnerships with leading Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) serving the industrial engineering marketplace including leading CFD and FEA vendors Fluent, CD-adapco and Livermore Software Technology Corp. (LSTC). QLogic’s solutions are extensively tested, tuned, and certified to operate with these ISV vendor applications resulting in error free, rapid customer deployment of new cluster computing networks.

Complete Simulations Faster

Whether simulating automobile crashes or running optimization programs that refine a design, reducing the time-to-information is critical for any company in these competitive industries. Interconnecting your cluster computing network using QLogic solutions can reduce this time interval — the end result is faster time-to-market and higher product quality levels.

Improve Product Designs

QLogic solutions enable companies to build larger node size clusters, run larger data sets and expand simulation complexities in computer-aided design.

Reduce or Eliminate Costs

By better leveraging cluster compute and storage resources, industrial engineering customers utilizing QLogic’s high performance switching and virtual cluster fabric solutions can reduce the costs and complexities of deploying and operating design and simulation data centers. QLogic solutions also enable the deployment of grid computing architectures which allows for the pooling of compute and storage resources across multiple research teams resulting in better overall IT infrastructure utilization and lower overall cost of product design.
