What Kinds of FSI Problems Can COMSOL Multiphysics Solve?
We discuss the various techniques for modeling fluid–structure interaction (FSI) in the COMSOL® software, as well as highlight the add-on modules you need for these various types of analyses.
Added Value of Task Parallelism in Batch Sweeps
You can use batch sweeps to improve your modeling performance when you reach limitations in parallel computing. Learn how in this part of our Hybrid Modeling blog series.
Hybrid Computing: Advantages of Shared and Distributed Memory Combined
Shared memory platform + distributed memory platform = hybrid computing. Learn about the various aspects of hybrid computing and modeling in this installment of our blog series.
Intro to the What, Why, and How of Distributed Memory Computing
In a follow-up to our post on shared memory computing, we discuss another building block of hybrid parallel computing: distributed memory computing.
Intro to the What, Why, and How of Shared Memory Computing
A couple of weeks ago, we published the first blog post in a Hybrid Modeling series, about hybrid parallel computing and how it helps COMSOL Multiphysics model faster. Today, we are going to briefly discuss one of the building blocks that make up the hybrid version, namely shared memory computing. Before that, we need to consider what it means that an “application is running in parallel”. You will also learn when and how to use shared memory with COMSOL.
Hybrid Parallel Computing Speeds Up Physics Simulations
Remember 20 years ago, when the TOP500 list was dominated by vector processing supercomputers equipped with up to a thousand processing units? Let’s take a walk through history to the future.
Photos from the COMSOL 4.4 Launch Event in Silicon Valley
In anticipation of the COMSOL 4.4 release, the COMSOL office in Palo Alto decided to try something new. Feeling inspired by the very successful COMSOL Conference in Boston, we held an all-day launch event in Silicon Valley. Here’s a round-up of the event and some of the photos we took.
COMSOL Multiphysics Version 4.4 Released Today
You’ve seen glimpses of our new software release at the COMSOL Conference and perhaps engaged in commentary around it in social media. Today marks the official release of COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.4, and you can now learn about the software updates in detail and download it if you are on subscription.
