About
Rescale AI HPC Cloud is a full-stack high-performance computing platform built for modern engineering and scientific research. It provides cloud-native HPC infrastructure with elastic compute and storage, enabling teams to burst workloads on demand without managing physical hardware. At its core, Rescale offers three major capability pillars: Agentic Engineering, which uses intelligent AI agents to automate complex simulation workflows; AI Physics, which accelerates simulation speed using trained AI models and inference engines; and Data Intelligence, which transforms raw simulation data into actionable engineering insights through natural language querying and composable workflows. Rescale supports a broad range of use cases including CAE and multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO), GPU acceleration, digital twins, hybrid cloud HPC, and AI/ML for engineering R&D. Its software catalog includes hundreds of HPC and AI applications with integrated license management. The platform also provides robust IT governance features such as security and compliance management, financial tracking, and resource orchestration. Industries served include aerospace, automotive, energy, higher education, life sciences, manufacturing, government, and semiconductors. Rescale is designed for R&D engineers, IT/HPC managers, and C-suite leaders seeking to fast-track innovation through scalable, secure, and intelligent simulation infrastructure.
