Users with floating network licenses can now run high-level simulations on any number of cluster nodes without additional fees.
PORTLAND, OR (November 16, 2009) — Today at the SC09, the premier international conference on High Performance Computing (HPC), COMSOL Inc., the leader in multiphysics simulation software, announced that with the upcoming release of COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0 for Windows® HPC Server 2008 (HPCS) current users of a COMSOL Multiphysics® floating network license will have free and unlimited access to cluster compute power. The new COMSOL support for cluster computing means that any simulation job can now be deployed to any number of clustered computers at no additional cost to the user. Free support for cluster computing distinguishes COMSOL Multiphysics from other developers of simulation software who price their applications proportional to the number of computers and processors available to the user.
“COMSOL is the first developer of multiphysics software to take this step toward removing the financial barrier to large-scale simulation on cluster computing systems,” comments Bernt Nilsson, Sr. VP of Marketing with COMSOL, Inc. “Since multiphysics simulations can be computationally demanding, we have chosen to ensure our customers success by giving away the ability to run COMSOL Multiphysics simulations on any number of nodes free of charge.”

Multiphysics Conferences in Boston and Milan Draw More Than 700 Engineers, Researchers, and Scientists
Unveiling of COMSOL Multiphysics® 4.0 and keynote addresses by world’s leading practitioners of multiphysics modeling highlight fifth annual COMSOL Conference
BURLINGTON, MA (November 9, 2009) — More than 700 of the world’s top practitioners of multiphysics simulation recently gathered for the fifth annual COMSOL Conference in October. Complementary events were held in Boston and then Milan, Italy. The next stop for the annual world tour of this conference focused on multiphysics modeling and simulation for engineering and scientific research is Bangalore, India, November 13-14, 2009, followed by additional conferences in Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, and other locations.
Highlighting this year’s events was the release of a beta edition of COMSOL Multiphysics 4.0, the newest version of the company’s market-leading multiphysics modeling and simulation environment, which was distributed to all attendees and media contacts. Among the many enhancements in Version 4.0 is the COMSOL Desktop™, an all-new user interface that makes it easy for users to build and run simulations. (Note to Editors: Go here for the complete press release on COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.0.)

Cluster computing is making its way to the engineering community. This is certainly true for users of COMSOL. Here is some great news: Users of COMSOL Multiphysics on floating network licenses will be able to deploy their simulations distributed on any number of nodes — without any additional licensing cost.
As far as I know, COMSOL is the first developer of multiphysics software to take this step towards removing the financial barrier to large scale simulation on clusters. This is important for many of our customers. At recent COMSOL conferences in Boston and Milan, we had hundreds of attendees taking part in my tutorial on how to run COMSOL on Windows HPC Server 2008.
The next big event is SC09 Portland, Oregon. If you are interested in HPC this is a great event to attend. And feel free to visit us there (at Booth # 236) – we’ll be happy to show you how to run COMSOL on clusters.
