Computational intelligence company Altair Engineering Inc. (Troy, Mich., U.S.) has announced upgrades to Altair HPCWorks, a high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud platform. New tools and capabilities expand cloud scaling for Altair and third-party workload managers, integrate advanced monitoring and reporting, and beyond — including enhanced AI-enabled job scheduling and visualization with support for GPUs, Kubernetes and machine learning workflows.
According to Altair, these latest enhances empower users with more comprehensive capabilities for the world’s increasingly data- and AI-driven landscape. Several of these enhances benefit composites fabricators by streamlining processes, improving efficiencies and reducing costs.
AI-enhanced user portal. The updated portal leverages AI to predict job behavior, estimate memory use and determine walltime requirements by analyzing historical data and job inputs. This predictive capability enables composites fabricators to optimize resource allocation for complex simulations and analyses, leading to more efficient workflow management.
HPC monitoring and reporting. With improved monitoring tools via AI integrations, companies gain real-time insights into HPC environments, simplify job submission and cut wait times. This visibility enables proactive management of computational tasks, ensuring that simulations critical to composite material design and testing are executed efficiently. Enhanced reporting features facilitate data-driven decision-making, allowing for continuous process improvements.
Detailed HPC and cloud monitoring and reporting is also now integrated into every Altair workload manager.
Cloud scaling. HPCWorks 2025 offers streamlined cloud scaling capabilities, so users can easily expand their computational resources as needed. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for composites fabricators handling large-scale simulations or peak workloads, ensuring that projects proceed without delays due to resource constraints or limitations in existing hardware capabilities, which may not be optimized for the required workload.
According to Altair, by integrating these updates, companies focusing on critical composites modeling will be able to enhance computational workflows, leading to more efficient design processes, reduced time-to-market and optimized resource use.
Broad enhancements to the Altair HPCWorks product suite also include enhanced security, performance improvements and integration with Altair’s advanced data analytics tools. Designers and developers can track complex workflows, including AI and machine learning workflows, and work in any modern programming language. Flexible scheduling enables distributed workflows and greater GPU scheduling capabilities help cluster administrators support chip design teams.
