"Scientific computing has become one of the most important disciplines of our time, but unfortunately, much of the scientific community has relegated vital development of new tools for computational science to staff and students rather than collaborating with their peers. Optimally, this work should be a joint effort between the best traditional scientists in the world and the best computer scientists in the world." — Inspired by the Harvard IIC and implemented by Stanford's finest -- Clustercorp's Scientific Computing group brings great minds together to solve the most difficult problems in HPC.

Dr. Georgi Kalitzin and Dr. Gorazd Medic lead Clustercorp's Scientific Computing group. They have vast experience in working on and managing large scale computing projects ranging from industrial projects for companies such as General Electric Aircraft Engines, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce to leading edge computational modeling and simulation projects in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Labs. Dr. Medic's book on Computational Fluid Dynamics can be found at Cambridge University Press.

Computational Fluid Dynamics
Dr. Georgi Kalitzin and Dr. Gorazd Medic

Clustercorp's consultants provide services and support for a wide range of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. They have an in-depth knowledge of numerical methods and computational algorithms, as well as a fundamental understanding of various fluid mechanics phenomena ranging from shock-boundary layer interaction to combustion and multiphase flows. They have specialized in the cutting edge turbulence modeling techniques that combine the best of RANS and LES approaches into a new generation of modeling tools.

Our consultants have extensive experience with a multitude of commercial CFD software packages; these include Fluent, Star-CD and CFX. Over the years our engineers have also accumulated a vast amount of technical know-how and operational skills with various pre-processing software tools, such as Gridgen and Gambit, as well as with post-processing and visualization techniques and software packages, such as Ensight, ParaView, Tecplot and FieldView.

We also offer training for leading industrial CFD solvers, as well as for various pre-processing / gridding tools and post-processing / visualization software packages. Onsite training is offered for client convenience and access to your computing environment.

Performance, Capacity & Linux/Unix Services
Dr. Dominique Heger and Dr. Philip Carinhas

Clustercorp's consultants have a proven track record in performance, capacity planning, availability, reliability, security, and design/feasibility projects for cluster and Grid environments. They have in-depth (professional and theoretical) knowledge of Linux and Unix internals, performance tuning, and stability/setup/maintenance activities, respectively. They are an active entity in the cluster and Grid performance research community; hence they have a pulse on current and forthcoming technologies - they have had hands-on experience with some of the largest and most complex systems in the world (such as ASC White and ASC Purple).

Our engineers provide a vendor neutral way to evaluate prospective desings prior to any hardware purchase, while ensuring required levels of performance and stability. Our performance services focus on increasing the stability of heterogeneous environments, which leads to substantial cost savings and recovery. Based on the customers workload, we focus on every level of the system, allowing fine-tuning application, operating system, and hardware fine tuning allows conducting capacity planning and substantially increases stability of the environment, and leads to a more efficient and cost effective infrastructure. We provide OS optimization services for Linux and Unix. We cover any application that runs on UNIX, Linux, or Windows, be it single-cpu, SMP, or distributed architecture.

Our consultants provide the mathematical analysis and modeling of the IT environment. The resulting models are used in capacity planning analysis and design. They utilize analytical models, PetriNets, and other math to quantify a customers IT infrastructure. All models are tailored towards the target environment, as is important to the client, rather than what commercial simulation tools may or may not emphasize.

We also offer training, counseling, and education to support all of our services. We can tailor our classes towards customers environment and special interests. Our training services reinforce customers’ IT group efficiency and knowledge, which reduces the dependence on outside vendors.
