Case Study: Exponent achieves 10x faster, higher-fidelity simulations with Rescale

Exponent Expands HPC Capabilities With Rescale to Drive the Future Of Computational Engineering

Exponent, a multidisciplinary engineering and scientific consulting firm, faced rapidly growing computational demands as client projects increased in complexity across industries like consumer electronics, energy, healthcare, and automotive. To scale capacity and simplify access to HPC for a global team, Exponent selected Rescale’s cloud HPC platform to provide right-sized, preinstalled R&D software and instant access to the latest hybrid-cloud hardware.

Rescale enabled Exponent consultants to run optimized, highly parallelized simulations on demand, increasing throughput and fidelity—achieving up to 10x faster solve times and a 10x increase in simulation fidelity (including meshes up to 25 million cells)—while tripling the number of CFD consultants doing HPC work simultaneously. The Rescale solution also standardized best practices, improved onboarding, and boosted resource efficiency and tracking, allowing Exponent to take on more and larger client projects.
