Japanese tire manufacturer boosts simulation workloads with 3X faster performance in its latest high performance computing environment, delivered through HPE GreenLake cloud

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that Toyo Tire Corporation selected HPE to deliver its seventh generation high performance computing (HPC) system, which is three times more powerful than its predecessor, as a-service through HPE GreenLake cloud. The upgraded system and boosted performance accelerate time-to-market for next-generation tires by processing structural tire data quickly and with greater precision. The expanded computational power significantly reduces the time required for complex and parameter-rich large-scale design simulations that Toyo Tire utilizes to train its AI models.

“Toyo Tire continues to demonstrate innovation in tire engineering and development using high performance computing,” said Hirokazu Mochizuki, senior vice president and managing director for HPE Japan. “We are pleased to collaborate with Toyo Tire and strengthen its digitized development with powerful HPE Cray performance delivered via HPE GreenLake cloud. The latest solution provides Toyo Tire an optimal level of performance, in a flexible environment, to support a new era of innovation, with speed and efficiency.”

The latest advancements allow Toyo Tire to stay ahead of market needs to innovate new generations of tires that address global trends, including transitions to electric vehicles (EVs) and overall improvement to performance and features to minimize environmental impact across fuel consumption, noise levels, wear resistance and load-bearing capacity.

“As the automotive industry accelerates its digital transformation and increasingly moves towards simulation instead of prototyping and performance evaluation testing, automakers are increasingly requesting mathematical models of tires which is a faster, more cost efficient and sustainable process,” said Tamotsu Mizutani, Corporate Officer and Division General Manager, Technology Development Division of Toyo Tire. “This requires numerical models of the tire and our new HPC system will advance this move towards digitized simulation. Our design engineers are excited about the enhanced capabilities of the system, and we are looking forward to accelerating the training of our AI models.”

Toyo Tire worked with a team of HPE experts on TOYO-FEM, one of its critical in-house computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications, to optimize its computing resources. The team significantly improved the application's performance by nearly three times, enabling more designers to run simulations simultaneously. The time required to simulate a large-scale design combining multiple design parts is reduced up to one-half or less compared to the previous system. The optimization has also substantially improved Toyo Tire's deep learning inverse problem solver, which relies on analysis from simulations to formulate next-generation design specifications such as tire structure, shape and patterns.

Toyo Tire selected HPE GreenLake cloud to capitalize on a fully managed, end-to-end solution for its large-scale HPC system, which leverages HPE Cray XD systems, to gain flexibility to significantly upgrade its HPC resources and enable more access to designers.

The HPE GreenLake cloud delivers a modern cloud experience, including managed infrastructure, consumption analytics and predictable economics that streamlines IT and business operations. In addition, the HPE Cray XD systems deliver expanded performance with higher density, allowing Toyo Tire to maximize its data center space with existing resources.
