Executive Summary With its mission to find ways to advance industrial competitiveness, protect the environment and enhance the safety and security of air and spacecraft, France’s Office National d’Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA) relies on a host of HPC resources. Yet despite the fact that researchers from across seven scientific departments tap into the systems, two departments (the Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity, Acoustics Department and the Multi-Physics for Energy Department) dealing with computational fluid dynamics and energetics (CFDE) are responsible for nearly 95% of the organization’s CPU usage. What’s more, all of the CPUs at ONERA run proprietary code, so the French aerospace lab is particularly keen on understanding emerging technologies in pursuit of a bet
