Dynamic resource allocation for computational simulation

A system for automated resource allocation during a computational simulation, comprising:

• a computing cluster;
• and
• a resource allocator operably coupled to the computing cluster, the resource allocator comprising a processor and a memory operably coupled to the processor, wherein the memory has computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• analyze a set of simulation inputs to determine a first set of computing resources in the computing cluster for performing a simulation, wherein the first set of computing resources is configured to start the simulation;
• and
• dynamically analyze at least one attribute of the simulation to determine a second set of computing resources in the computing cluster for performing the simulation, wherein the second set of computing resources is different than the first set of computing resources, and wherein the second set of computing resources is configured to perform the simulation.

A computer-implemented method for automated resource allocation during a computational simulation, comprising:

• receiving a computing environment dataset that describes a plurality of computing environments, wherein each of the plurality of computing environments is associated with a distinct set of computing resources;
• analyzing a set of simulation inputs to determine a first computing environment of the plurality of computing environments for performing a simulation;
• performing the simulation with the first computing environment;
• before completing performance of the simulation with the first computing environment, dynamically analyzing at least one attribute of the simulation to determine a second computing environment of the plurality of computing environments for performing the simulation;
• and
• performing the simulation with the second computing environment.
