Katrina talks about simulation and visualization, its role in innovation, and how the technology is being used across industries such as manufacturing, oil & gas, aerospace and defense, media and entertainment, and health and life sciences. Scientists search for new discoveries, engineers are looking at new ways to do things, to design and develop new products – but everyone is looking to do achieve innovations in less time and at reduced costs. They are looking for increased efficiencies and better ways to get more intelligence. Katrina explains that companies with engineers and scientists often need to bring in a new role to help manage the software and systems that actually perform the computational and visualization tools. They require expertise in optimizing the performance of the hardware and software so that the engineers and scientists can focus on innovation. This is where Intel, with its experience in software, really shines – and where Intel® Select Solutions for Simulation and Visualization comes in. Intel Select Solutions for Simulation & Visualization offers a turnkey solution to deploy and maintain a cluster, where Intel has already optimized the software and done the performance testing. Intel works closely with engineers to optimize performance for this end-to-end Intel Select Solution. One of the biggest trends in the space is analytics and software-defined visualization – companies are gathering more data from new sources about their product or solution and being able to visualize more complex and larger datasets is key to communicating to business stakeholders who might not understand the science behind the new innovations. Viewing photorealistic images at the same time the computation takes place speeds up the discovery and analysis process, thus reducing the time-to-market for manufacturing and research organizations. Katrina notes that this trend is across all sizes of companies, from enterprises focusing on exascale to small and mid-size companies. Katrina and Jake also talk about their advice to young people just coming into the industry. Namely, how It’s important to have a grounding in the technology but also critical to look at the bigger picture of business drivers and consider how will the technology will benefit the industry and the larger world.

SAP and Intel have a decades-long collaboration to enhance enterprise technology and address challenges like this explosion of data. The companies work closely within labs and research facilities to collaborate on new technologies, like the 2nd gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor and Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory. This provides not only close alignment but also facilitates early adopter programs and helps support mission critical applications. And, it enables solutions like the new Intel Select Solution for SAP HANA, a recipe for an optimized deployment of SAP HANA based on high-capacity, non-volatile memory for high availability and quick database restarts. Alison notes that Intel Optane DC persistent memory helps SAP HANA increase memory capacity and scale, which allows the company the freedom to test emerging technologies and have comparable latency with more capacity per dollar. Ultimately this creates better TCO through greater uptime, lower costs, easier life cycle management, and a simpler technology stack. This impacts SAP HANA because it means their customers can really broaden and maximize their new and existing implementations.

Pratap joined VMware in 2000 as a member of the technical staff (MTS)and has been a key player in their virtual machine (VM) monitor group, contributing to the design of MMU virtualization, paravirtual interfaces design principles, and, more recently, symmetric multiprocessor fault tolerance for virtual machines. In this podcast, Pratap discusses the emergence of virtualization technology, the importance of VM density, VMware’s commitment to continually updating vSphere with the latest Intel Architecture innovations, and how VMware continues to meet the challenges of managing the Edge. Always building on their core value: providing enterprises with the capability to run a large number of virtual machines on a single node. He goes on to discuss the deep collaboration between VMware and Intel and how they continue to work together to tackle complex technology problems and come up with innovative solutions. In the past 10 years, they have worked together to optimize VMware software on various Intel Architecture features, including, most recently, Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory, resulting in a revolutionary technology that enables virtual machines to be more efficient and able to run bigger programs on a single node. He discusses how VMware and Intel continue to engage with the Open Source community to drive standards and optimize current and future technologies. Pratap also talks about how increased core density and memory utilization are going to transform virtualization from the edge to the cloud. This means that businesses will be able to run more VM’s with larger CPU’s that use larger amounts of memory—all on one node. This is enormously efficient.
