3M: Accelerating cloud adoption for HPC workloads with Altair PBS Professional and Altair Control

With approximately 60,000 products spanning four business groups, 3M is constantly improving products to fit the needs of its customers. Modeling and simulation touch many stages of the product development process at 3M and high-performance computing is critical to accommodating such computationally intensive workloads. 3M has been using Altair PBS Professional for many years to great success, and in 2018 became an early adopter of Altair Control and its cloud bursting capabilities for HPC. 3M has since significantly increased its use of PBS cloud bursting to accommodate a growing need for on-demand HPC resources. They will discuss their cloud adoption journey for HPC workloads and how Altair’s PBS Professional and Control products are playing a crucial role.​
