Simulation of a Multi-resonant Antenna System Using CST Microwave Studio. In this UberCloud Experiment project the team enabled end-user to simulate the complete RF-portion of involved antenna system.

1. Team 2: Simulation of a
Multi-resonant Antenna
System Using CST
Microwave Studio

2. Team Members
• Resource Provider: CST (Computer Simulation
Technology)
• Category: Aerodynamics
• Expertise Provider: BioTeam
• Software Provider: CST (Computer Simulation
Technology)

3. Team 2
• Advances in hardware and software
• Enabled end-user to simulate the complete
RF-portion of involved antenna system
• Parallelization and scale out techniques can
be applied
• Dependent upon the particular “solver”
method being used in simulation

4. Resources Used By Team
• Amazon AWS
• CST Distributed Computing System

5. Significant Challenges
• Unequal availability of AWS resources
between Regions
• Bandwidth between Linux solvers & Windows
Front-End
• Geographic constraints on data

6. Major Benefits
• Confirmation that the software is able to be
setup and run within a cloud environment
• Confirmation that a full system simulation is
indeed possible even though there are
heavy constraints
• New appreciation for the difficulties in
spanning US/EU regions within Amazon Web
Services

7. Main Conclusions and
Recommendations
• Security and data protection issues as well as
fears of the end users IT department create a
huge administrative limitation for the
integration of cloud based resources
• The AWS Spot Market has huge potential for
HPC on the cloud
