Amazon Web Services (AWS) has just announced the release of Palace, a parallel finite element code for full-wave electromagnetics simulations.
AWS uses Palace to perform large-scale 3D simulations of complex electromagnetics models to design quantum computing hardware.
Palace is an acronym for Parallel, Large-Scale, Computational Electromagnetics.
- According to a recent AWS blog post, Palace supports the scalability and elasticity of the cloud to incorporate AWS cloud-based HPC products and services.
- The finite element analysis suite will be “freely available on GitHub as an open source project for electromagnetic modeling workloads not limited to those in quantum computing.”
- Amazon developed Palace to address the dearth of open-source solutions for massively parallel, finite element-based computational electromagnetics.
