The Dakota project delivers both state-of-the-art research and robust, usable software for optimization and UQ. Broadly, the Dakota software's advanced parametric analyses enable design exploration, model calibration, risk analysis, and quantification of margins and uncertainty with computational models. The Dakota toolkit provides a flexible, extensible interface between such simulation codes and its iterative systems analysis methods, which include:
optimization with gradient and nongradient-based methods;
uncertainty quantification with sampling, reliability, stochastic expansion, and epistemic methods;
parameter estimation using nonlinear least squares (deterministic) or Bayesian inference (stochastic);
sensitivity/variance analysis with design of experiments and parameter study methods.

FDS
Description
Version
License
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The computer program solves numerically a large eddy simulation form of the Navier–Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires, to describe the evolution of fire. FDS is free software developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the United States Department of Commerce, in cooperation with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. Smokeview is the companion visualization program that can be used to display the output of FDS. Thanks to FDS it's possible to run CFD analysis for FSE - Fire Safety Engineering - according to the most common international standards:
• BS 7346 - British Standard• AS1668.2 (2012) - Australian Standard• PIARC – 05.16.B and PIARC – 05.05.B for tunnel ventilation

License
OpenFOAM (for "Open-source Field Operation And Manipulation") is a C++ toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers, and pre-/post-processing utilities for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, most prominently including computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The cloud HPC platform includes two main scripts which allows:
MESH calculation with snappyHexMesh
CFD Solution for transient/steady simulations using any OpenFOAM solver - i.e. simpleFoam, pimpleFoam, rhoSimpleFoam, rhoPimpleFoam, chtMultiRegionFoam, etc.
ParaView is an open-source multiple-platform application for interactive, scientific visualization. It has a client–server architecture to facilitate remote visualization of datasets, and generates level of detail (LOD) models to maintain interactive frame rates for large datasets. It is an application built on top of the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) libraries. ParaView is an application designed for data parallelism on shared-memory or distributed-memory multicomputers and clusters. It can also be run as a single-computer application.

Pricing
The pricing scheme is the simplest possible for a cloud HPC application. The base unit is the vCPU/Hour – so a unit which refers to the harware computing power allocated for every hour you use it. There are three standard models that differenciate the vCPU/Hour cost depending on the RAM allocated.
Beyond the vCPU/Hours computation, there are no other costs involved with the cloudHPC: so storage is completely free as well as data transfer (upload/download).

Non Regular Instances
NON Regular instances, also called PREemptible, are excess power computing to which users may refer in order to run their analysis. While REGular instances are exclusively used for the analysis, PRE machines can be restarted at any time during the calculation (at least once every 24 hours, usually 2-3 times every 24 hours). After the machine reboots, the simulation restarts automatically from the last saved restart file. More information available in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYfvGqfBqqI

Progressive discount
High use discounts are automatic discounts for running specific amounts of use in our cloud HPC platform every single month. Depeding on the montly turnover in terms of €uro spent on the platform, a progressive discount percentage is applied on the total amount. This percentage increases with the turnover on the platform for each moth and ranges from 0% to 30%.
The procedure to evaluate and to apply the discount is the following:
Evaluation of turnover of the current month
Given the amount the discount percentage is calculated from the following graph (from 0% to 30%)
Application of the discount percentage
