DescriptionProsperity in commerce has always leveraged the travel, transport, and information flow of that era. Transitions from Water (rivers and seas) to Railroads to Interstate Highways to Airplanes and the Internet have resulted in the rise of cities like Chicago and the rise and decline of enterprises from Sears to Walmart to Amazon. Along the way, inventions from catalogues, to a standard time led the way for computing based logistics, and internet ordering. Today, behind our commerce transactions is computing that many suspect. However, what is less well known is the computing behind the manufacturing of the stuff we order.
We will go through examples of how engineering and science new third leg (added to theory and experiment) are making innovation in everyday products possible. These examples will include Computational Chemistry, Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and even some very large ‘non-physics … e.g. time, probability and money’ problems that have outgrown laptops and desktops. Problems that were worked on exclusively by empirical correlation to experiments are being solved by direct solution using HPC.
