Supercomputer Calculates Safety Factor of Moscow Advertising Screens
Specialists of T-Services company, an affiliate of T-Platforms supercomputer holding, have calculated the safety factor of a number of LED billboards in the center of Moscow. The inhabitants of nearby houses, car owners and passers-by have nothing to worry about – the billboards are completely storm-proof.
The numerical simulation was done by request of OrionCity – one of the Moscow companies engaged in production and placement on LED billboards, electronic displays and video screens. The company wanted to find out whether their billboards had a required safety factor or there was a need to reinforce the constructions.
“Safety is the key factor of an advertising structure. Again and again the media report billboards collapse. Meanwhile, the majority of such incidents could have been prevented if timely expertise and construction reinforcement had taken place. It took T-Services less than a day to perform the simulation and provide the results”, says Oleg Sobesski, OrionCity CEO.
Using a supercomputer, T-Services simulated the aerodynamic flow around double-sided advertising LED billboards. Modeling revealed the construction had a 10-15% safety margin. Therefore, there was no need for reinforcement.
The simulation was done using a supercomputer of about 1TFlops based on T-Blade 1.1 blade platform developed and manufactured by T-Platforms. It should be noted that T-Blade is used as a platform for MSU CHEBYSHEV supercomputer, the 2nd most powerful computer system in the CIS.
