Meet the Community

booth Introducing Conrad Hillairet, Staff HPC Engineer at Arm. If you attended our 2025 Users’ Day, you would have seen how Conrad has been benchmarking OpenRadioss models on Arm compute platforms, driving breakthroughs in AI and HPC. At the 2025 SuperComputing conference, Conrad attracted much attention as a guest in the Altair booth, where he presented running OpenRadioss on Google Axion processors powered by Arm Neoverse cores. He also showcased a wonderful demonstration at the Arm booth on how to compile and run OpenRadioss on an Arm Neoverse-based AWS Graviton4 instance. An impressive takeaway from SC25 was seeing so many of the world’s fastest and greenest supercomputers run on Arm.

OpenRadioss was featured at several key HPC players booths during “SC25 – HPC Ignites” (St Louis, MO). Keen supporters of OpenRadioss since its launch, and sponsors of OpenRadioss Users’ Days, here’s what was happening:
