1,000-Core Elastic Supercomputer on Google Cloud
In computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA), compute elasticity is the difference between engineers waiting an entire week for simulation results or reviewing them before afternoon coffee. Aviato replaced physical hardware limits with an on-demand Slurm supercomputer on Google Cloud.

The Transformation Journey
Engineers were constrained by on-premise compute clusters running at 100% saturation, creating days of queue lag for mission-critical client deliverables. Aviato deployed an automated Slurm HPC cluster leveraging Google Cloud's HPC Toolkit. Compute nodes autoscale from zero to 1,000+ cores on job submission and immediately tear down upon simulation completion, eliminating data center maintenance and idle infrastructure waste.
