This week, guest Kevin Smith, M-Star's Director of Software Development, joins John to discuss computational fluid dynamics in the cloud.

In this episode, John and Kevin discuss:

• The history and emergence of cloud-based computing for CFD.


• The sticking points of using GPU instances in the cloud.


• How to get up and running with cloud-based GPU resources and CFD software – fast and frictionless.

“We just want our clients running simulations, adding value to their enterprises, doing good science.” – Kevin Smith
