Date: Tuesday 11 Dec 2012 Time: 18:30 (refreshments available 30 minutes before)

Venue:
BCS London

Jaguar Land Rover design, engineer and manufacture luxury sports saloons, sports cars and premium 4x4s in the UK which sell in 177 countries. The complexity, timescale and cost associated with automotive engineering and safety testing demands an advanced IT environment.

This presentation provides an overview of the development and deployment of a state-of-the-art Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and High Performant Computing (HPC) IT ecosystem that underpins JLR's move from physical to 'svirtual car's product development, reducing the time to market, engineering costs and environmental impact of the product lifecycle.

Andy Searle holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Diploma in Management Studies; he is a strategic technical leader and subject matter expert with 25 years of experience in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and High Performance Computing (HPC) with 22 years experience working for Jaguar, Land Rover and Ford in CAE and HPC virtual simulation.

Andy is responsible for the JLR IT technical strategy and architecture for the CAE and HPC ecosystem including HPC clusters, high performant and scalable storage, submission and scheduling, engineering workstations, applications, tools and licences for virtual simulation for the JLR Product Development vehicle programmes and cycle plan.

Numbers strictly limited. If anyone is interested in attending this event please PM me and I'll register you as a Guest. First come, first served I'm afraid.

Cheers, Rich.

Hi Rich,
This sounds very interesting, alas time and distance prevent me from attending. It may though be worth giving Nigel Thorley a heads up, sounds like it could give a really good insight and make an interesting article in the magazine.

Thanks James,
I'll bear that in mind.

I often attend seminars at the BCS and it'll make a change to be attending one that touches on a subject area that co-insides with my professional interests as well as Jaguars!

Rich.
