"I believe that Optimatics wastewater optimisation technology will be the next natural phase from modelling in the future as it radically improves efficiency and there is no existing means by which you can achieve a comparable result with millions of dollars savings achievable.

Computer Data Processing Services
Optimatics provides computer processing services for optimization runs for clients to undertake complex projects.
Distributed computing
'Distributed computing' refers to the practice of harnessing the combined processing power of a number of disparate resources into one unit. Computational intelligence (CI) technologies require significant amounts of computing power in order to be effective. With the requirement of performing hundreds of thousands of hydraulic simulations on a single optimization project, the demands of Optimatics' advanced optimization technologies far exceed those that could be offered by a single processor.
Optimatics utilizes a cluster of computing nodes, dividing an optimization project into smaller computing tasks, and distributing tasks individually to each node. By processing tasks in parallel, distributed computing allows clients to develop near-optimum solutions in hours or days rather than weeks or months.
Optimatics also advises on computer cluster specifications for in-house client installations for optimization runs.
