Abstract:

[Objective] As high performance computing (HPC) technology goes deep into the aviation manufacturing industry, the pace of scientific and technological progress is accelerated. Compared to the United States, which achieves outstanding achievements in this regard, China holds an inferior status because of two major problems of insufficient and imbalanced constructions. Based on the current status and development trend, this paper attempts to propose an architecture and associated design framework for HPC capability construction. [Methods] The HPC infrastructure in the United States and in China are studied, problems faced by the aviation manufacturing industry in the application of HPC are summarized, and the trends in HPC development are analyzed. [Results] An architecture and design framework for HPC capability construction are proposed to promote high quality development of the system. [Conclusions] High performance computing has become an important technology which subverts the traditional product design method and leads innovation. In the current development stage of the aviation manufacturing industry, it is necessary to promote rapid construction and make efforts to build up talent teams in high performance computing, so as to improve the overall ability of the domestic industry.
