Founded in 2011 in San Francisco, California by Joris Poort (CEO) and Adam McKenzie (CTO), Rescale is a startup that develops a cloud computing simulation platform. Rescale was a Y Combinator[1] company and has received $6.4M in funding from high-profile investors including Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos,[2] Richard Branson, Chris Dixon,[3] Paul Graham, and Peter Thiel.[4] [5] [6] [7] The founders previously built a software technology stack at Boeing saving the company over $180M through weight improvements on the 787 Dreamliner.[8]

The Rescale platform combines engineering and science software tools with high performance computing (HPC) to create a cloud simulation environment. Design Engineering magazine describes Rescale as "...a good fit for manufacturers who need to run complex simulation and optimization jobs, but don't have the HPC hardware required." [9]

The Platform noted in May, 2015 that Rescale claims the largest known globally available commercial HPC network with "...eight million servers globally with a potential 1,400 petaflops of compute capacity ... across 30 global datacenters." [10]

Rescale has partnerships with engineering software companies in the computer aided engineering space including: ANSYS, CD-adapco,[11] Dassault Systemes,[12] MSC Software,[13] and Siemens.[14]
