Cloud Simulation Security Q&A with Rescale
One of the first questions I get from every prospective Rescale customer is about security in the cloud, and rightfully so. Data security in the cloud is a big deal. Our customers work with highly technical, highly proprietary data. At Rescale, protecting the confidentiality and security of customer data at all times is our highest priority. On…

Rescale announces University Research Grant Competition
Rescale (rescale.com), through the Rescale University Program (ReUP), has established an engineering and science research grant competition, available to researchers (faculty, staff, and students) at academic institutions across the world. The grants will be awarded in the form of credits towards Rescale’s cloud simulation platform, allowing recipients to conduct compute-heavy analyses much faster than with…

Introducing Sharing on Rescale
Project collaboration can be very time-consuming, and it’s often a difficult task to distribute assignments to colleagues. When engineers and scientists spend their time collecting and sharing files back and forth, it reduces the time they could spend on product development. This can disrupt project deadlines and lead to less than optimal designs. Sharing analyses…

Introducing Cloning on Rescale
Engineers and scientists spend significant time managing their simulation data. This problem will only increase in coming years as engineers run larger analyses more often. Instead of spending time understanding and analyzing results, engineers and scientists are instead devoting time to organizing data.At Rescale, we believe it should be easy to edit and re-run simulations…

Run Gromacs Faster on Rescale with Parallelization
Gromacs was developed by ScalaLife and funded by the European Research Council. Gromacs is an open-source, versatile package designed for analyzing molecular dynamics in biochemical molecules. Due to its popularity, we decided to use Gromacs to demonstrate the steps required to parallelize a single job across multiple dynos (i.e., computing cores). You can find the…

Introducing Gerris to Rescale
Gerris is an open-source CFD software tool developed by Dr. Stéphane Popinet of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA) in New Zealand. While originally developed for modeling complex wind patterns, the code has been used across the world to model complex flows such as spacecraft re-entry dynamics, drag on aircraft airfoils and…
