High-Performance Compute (HPC) environments break many assumptions behind modern DevOps and CI/CD. Simulation jobs are long-running, stateful, and expensive to fail. Feedback can arrive hours or days too late to be useful.

This talk demonstrates how applying DevOps principles in an enterprise HPC and simulation environment saves valuable time by shifting focus away from deployments and toward feedback loops. From error troubleshooting after the fact to failure prevention. Instead of forcing standard CI/CD patterns we adapted them to fit the constraints and delivered measurable value in reduced wasted compute, faster feedback, and better outcomes for engineers.
