Our Milestones
My Ph.D. advisor Shanhui Fan, now my co-founder, convinced the NSF to grant us access to a rare supercomputer. After months of waiting, I received my password by mail. Next, I had to compile dusty, old code from an external hard drive, a process that took weeks to finally work.
Ten years later, in 2015, as a professor at the University of Wisconsin, I faced the same issue. My graduate students were waiting for computing, which was more frustrating than my own wait as a student, now compounded by concerns about payroll and tenure.
Later that year, I visited my friend Qiqi Wang, an MIT professor and future co-founder. In an Uber, I realized that while business computing had advanced, engineering computing had stagnated. Engineers needed new tools to innovate faster. If no one else would build them, we decided to do it ourselves.
Months later, Qiqi, Shanhui, and I founded Flexcompute to use advanced computing to accelerate innovation. We were joined by talented friends who formed our early team.
Today, our technology aids hundreds of researchers from top universities and supports companies in designing electric cars, aircraft, wind turbines, and quantum computing chips. By solving massive differential equations, Flexcompute enables simulations in minutes instead of hours, revolutionizing design iteration. This is just the beginning of a new era in engineering computing.

VISION
What is simulation?
Simulations create controlled environments to test ideas, predict outcomes, and make better decisions, driving R&D. Flexcompute aims to enhance this process, lower entry barriers, and accelerate technological growth for customers.
Development of simulation
Our vision recognizes the rapid growth of simulation technology. Once limited to labs, simulations are now vital in automotive, aerospace, and finance. Despite advancements, they remain costly, time-consuming, and require skilled professionals.
What's the future of simulation
In 20 years, simulations will be 1000 times faster and accessible to all, enabling instant testing. They will be as essential as utilities, with hardware development mirroring software. Flexcompute will drive this future, accelerating innovation and creating new industries.

OUR IMPACT
Sustainable Future
We believe performance and sustainability go hand in hand. By enabling engineers to simulate earlier, faster, and more often, our GPU-native platform reduces the need for costly physical prototypes and late-stage design changes. This shortens development cycles and minimizes energy consumption and material waste across the product lifecycle. In aerospace, where efficiency, weight reduction, and regulatory compliance are critical, our simulation platform empowers teams to explore more design alternatives with far less environmental impact. Engineers can rapidly iterate on aerodynamic performance, structural integrity, and acoustic behavior without relying on energy-intensive wind tunnel testing or extensive flight trials. Our cloud-first architecture ensures optimized resource use, scaling elastically to demand, so customers only use what they need. With fewer data center hours and lower power draw per simulation, we help aerospace innovators meet their performance targets and sustainability commitments simultaneously.
