Luminary Cloud’s simulator taps GPUs to help speed up product design
Luminary Cloud, a simulator powered by clusters of cloud-hosted GPUs, aims to streamline the process of digitally testing physical product prototypes.
They enable engineers to create prototypes and understand how they might perform in the real world, accounting for factors like aerodynamic drag, air and water flows and pressure and temperature distributions. “Most engineers use legacy software that runs on on-premises infrastructure, resulting in a slow design workflow where each simulation takes days or weeks,” Lango told TechCrunch in an interview. Prior to Luminary, Lango worked at Silicon Graphics, the high-performance computer chip manufacturer, as well as NetApp and Cisco, while Alonso ran NASA’s Fundamental Aeronautics Program, leading research in supersonic projects.
