Innovation, he argues, should not just meet the reliability bar, it should raise it. Greater computational speed creates room for higher-fidelity methods, simulating physics that was previously out of reach. That improved fidelity translates directly into better, safer products.

Tim explains:“ The biggest lesson is that these are not actually opposed. Reliability is the bar innovation has to clear to be useful on an industrial floor.” He believes the computational space that accelerated computing creates opens the door to more than just speed.“ The performance and speed that accelerated computing and AI unlock create room for methods that have higher fidelity, simulating physics that was previously out of reach, and improve the actual reliability and capability of manufactured products,” he says.“ Innovation at its best does not undermine reliability. It compounds it.”
