PITTSBURGH, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineers
using the newly released ANSYS® 16.0 in combination with
powerful Intel® Xeon® technology can realize
a 300 percent decrease in solution time – helping them to innovate
and bring new products to market faster.
The ANSYS and Intel partnership ensures that simulation
engineers performing structural analysis can expect seamless
high-performance computing (HPC) operations with multi-core Xeon E5
v3 processors and many-core Xeon Phi™ coprocessors. The result is
the ability to run multiple, incredibly large simulations rapidly —
which is becoming standard when developing today's innovative
products.
"ANSYS 16.0 provides the accuracy, efficiency and robustness
required for engineers to generate proven designs as quickly as
possible," said Wim Slagter, lead
product manager for HPC, at ANSYS. "We've worked in tandem with
Intel to optimize ANSYS software for the architectural changes in
the new processor generation, so customers can leverage HPC
technology to incorporate more-complex models, whether using finer
meshes or investigating nonlinear behavior."
Because simulation times can be reduced with Xeon processors and
coprocessors, engineering departments can run more simulations in a
given period of time — offering the ability to look into more
design variables for developing better and higher-quality products
without affecting time to market.
ANSYS is the first commercial engineering simulation software
provider supporting Xeon Phi technology. ANSYS 16.0's structural
mechanics suite supports Xeon Phi with shared-memory and
distributed-memory parallelism for both the Linux and Windows
platforms. Virtually all ANSYS users — including those who have
access to clusters in which each compute node contains one or more
coprocessors — can accelerate structural mechanics simulations
using Xeon Phi coprocessors. For example, upgrading from the
previous generation Xeon processor and adding one Xeon Phi
coprocessor results in a decreased time to solution by a factor of
3.1 for ANSYS Mechanical™ simulations.
"Dramatic performance increases can transform entire engineering
workflows," said Frank Soqui,
general manager, Technical Compute Cloud and Client at Intel
Corporation. "The collaboration between Intel and ANSYS has
delivered just that, tremendous new performance levels, without
altering the end-user experience or complicating the IT environment
for great price/performance results. We're excited to see ANSYS
continuing its leadership in delivering structural analysis
capabilities to market, addressing the technical compute needs of
Windows users with Intel Xeon processors and Xeon Phi
coprocessors."
