About the Event
Recent
advances
at
IBM
Research
in
the
area
of
Bayesian
statistical
techniques
have
resulted
in
an
IBM
software
product
that
is
agnostic
to
any
HPC
vendor
system
to
dramatically
speed
up
the
total
time
it
takes
to
complete
hundreds
and
thousands
of
iterative
HPC
jobs.
The
areas
of
focus
are
currently
Reservoir
Simulation,
Computational
Fluid
Dynamics,
Computational
Biology/Chemistry
and
Drug
Discovery.
Others
may
come
forth
as
the
science
is
tested.
It
doesn’t
matter
what
HPC
system
you
use
since
the
software
AI
engine
is
out
of
band.
Results
for
tuning
and
optimizing
the
“next
run”
are
created
in
seconds
with
API
feedback
to
the
associated
simulation
solver
for
the
“next
run.”
IBM
Research
has
worked
with
scientists
all
over
the
world
ranging
from
UT
Austin
Petroleum
Engineering
to
Merck
Pharmaceuticals
in
the
UK
to
perfect
the
methodology.
The
software
is
free
for
the
academic
community
to
do
research,
while
it
is
a
paid
subscription
for
commercial/industrial
entities.
