Make a Laptop Perform Like a Mainframe

Computational trick makes a laptop perform like a mainframe computer

The computational trick allows the power of a modern mainframe computer to be realized even with a 10-year-old Laptop.

Another cross post from our technical partner SiOmec.

When a coating or material failure occurs on the customer’s part, senior management will be looking for answers, the conversation usually goes like this…

Management: How long it will take to fix the problem?

Engineer (giving an honest answer): Well, it will take several design iterations, manufacturing prototypes and accelerated application tests to find an improvement, but first we need to understand the cause.

Management: So how long will it take to fix it?

Engineer: Ahh, it will take several iterations to see if we are heading in the right direction.

Management: You’re not listening, how long will it take?

Engineer (frustrated): How long is a piece of string?

Management (frustrated and walking away): Fix it!

What if you could take years of development and iteration work and compress it into a few weeks?

What about showing the management a visual in a few seconds of why the problem is there, and how the proposed development will fix it?

SIO’s FilmDoctor® is the answer. Some time ago Dr Schwarzer was asked by computer and math freaks, including none other than Mr. Fabrikant himself, “how on earth” he was able to make the calculation of these contact problems so fast.

Well, the SIOmec team knows why… a trick Dr Schwarzer came up with accelerated the calculation dramatically. It is a trick one can implement into the solving-procedures of a great variety of similar problems (not only mechanical ones). SIO’s efficient numerical technique provides an acceleration factor range from 40X up to [(n*1000)*8] where n is the number of dimensional properties.

Imagine the benefits if applied to a bank stress test or a larger socioeconomic system?

The image comparison below shows how higher calculation performance allows you to spot the critical failure faster (just for one calculation cycle) and then when running an optimization cycle to find a solution, the acceleration factor ramps up non-linearly.

With the acceleration, the calculation in higher resolution (right side) takes the same time as the low resolution (left side) without the acceleration technique.. Allowing one to locate (see black cross hairs) a problem faster and more accurately.
