Galileo for
Water Resources
Galileo removes computational barriers by enabling users to effectively leverage computing power, share resources, and streamline compute-intensive
workflows.

Galileo for Resource Management
Galileo takes the hard work out of administering resources for scientific applications.




WHO
Teams and Groups Across Your Entire Company
Galileo delivers easily accessible computing power so engineers can streamline and easily organize their work. Galileo serves a variety of users in different fields at companies and research institutions across the world.
Examples of their work in hydrology and hydraulics include:
- Flood hazard delineation projects, modeling 100-year flood events
- 2D dam breach modeling to design and protect critical infrastructure
- Urban flood modeling with rainfall infiltration and accurate timing for emergency response planning
- Modeling hyperconcentrated sediment flows or mud flows

WHAT
Fast Results Through Easy Access to Computing Power
Galileo uses containerization technology to package code and dependencies together. It enables users to massively speed up runs based on their particular needs at any given time.
- Engineers can send their work directly to the cloud, to local resources, or to HPC clusters, selecting among these options with one click
- Users can move their work to the cloud with no training or development; eliminate the need to invest in maintenance or more hardware to scale up and down with your modeling needs
- The user-friendly interface is easy for anyone to use no coding knowledge required
- Integrated simulation software includes HEC-RAS, Flo-2D, PCSWMM, and others

WHY
Increased productivity and Collaboration
Galileo frees users from deployment setup, pipeline monitoring and delays. Teams can start new projects faster, run them more efficiently and eradicate common frustrations.
- Drastically decrease run times and speed up computationally intensive models
- All company computing resources can be accessed from a single seamless interface
- Increase collaboration as team members can easily share computational resources
- Searchable, historical databases ensure smooth project transitions. Common inefficiencies can be eliminated as users will no longer misplace results or waste time searching for data

Scaling PCSWMM Models with Galileo and Containerization
Hypernet Labs Co-Founder and CTO Todd Chapman recently had the pleasure of presenting Galileo at the International Conference on Water Management Modeling, which took place virtually on Feb. 24 and 25, 2021. The conference, which showcased 32 presentations and over 80...
CHI Integrates Galileo with PCSWMM Software for Remote Deployment in One Click
Hypernet Labs and Computational Hydraulics International (CHI) collaborated to integrate Galileo’s remote deployment platform with water management software PCSWMM to make much needed scalable computing resources extremely easy to access for hydrology and hydraulics...
Better Urban Flood Modeling with FLO-2D and Galileo
FLO-2D, developed by hydraulic engineer Jim O’Brien, distinguishes itself as a superior model for understanding shallow urban flooding. The largest projects undertaken by O’Brien have been urban models, and primary support for FLO-2D comes from the flood control...
Launch Your First HEC-RAS / Simulation Project on Galileo Software
Check out Product Manager John Drexler explaining how easy it is to launch your first HEC-RAS project–or other simulation or data analysis work–using...
What do HEC-RAS, Galileo, and Willamette Valley wines have in common?
As any good sommelier will tell you, the character of a wine depends on the grapes, which, in turn, depend on the soil. And what determines the character of the soil? In Oregon’s Willamette Valley, the answer is at least partially tied to a series of prehistoric...
Testing the Limits: Optimal Hardware Setup for HEC-RAS
As the water resources community moves towards more widespread use of 2D and more complex modeling, access to optimal hardware becomes increasingly important. Partially inspired by a study carried out by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Galileo team decided to launch...
