Design campaigns, run for you.

We take on optimization, design-database and surrogate projects for engineering teams, and run them on our platform, Evolve. Campaigns are parallelized across Oracle Cloud, cutting the time of simulation-based design processes by an order of magnitude compared to a sole workstation.

What we take on.

Problems where a solver has to run many times before a decision can be made. We set up the study, run it, and hand back the results with the data behind them.

  • Optimization of a design over its parameters, with one objective or several.
  • A design database: a sampled design space with a surrogate model over it.
  • A surrogate trained on runs you already have, with its error measured.
  • Modal analysis of transient fields: POD, DMD, and what the modes say about the design.

What it runs on.

We run solver images on Oracle Cloud virtual machines or bare metal. Our current catalogue of solver images include OpenFOAM, SU2, Calculix, and more. We can also run proprietary solvers like STAR-CCM+ under your own license.

  • Bare-metal nodes of 36, 144 or 256 cores and up to 3 TB of memory, linked by 100 Gb/s RDMA.
  • GPU nodes with eight A100, H100 or MI300X.
  • Sampling by Latin hypercube or Sobol. Sample-efficient Bayesian optimization with expected improvement, single or multi-fidelity. CMA-ES, BOHB and NSGA-III.
  • Gaussian process models, single and multi-fidelity, with built-in accuracy metrics. Results as CGNS and .surrogate.h5 files.

How it starts.

A call about the problem and the data you have. Then a written scope: what we need, what you get, when, and the price. The work runs in an Evolve workspace under your account, and the workspace stays yours afterwards.
