PITTSBURGH, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS Inc.
(NASDAQ: ANSS) users can now leverage NVIDIA graphics processing
units (GPUs) to speed up fluid dynamics simulation and quickly
handle large, complex simulation models. Available for the first
time with ANSYS® Fluent® 15.0, the jointly
developed GPU-accelerated commercial computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) solver broadens support for NVIDIA GPUs across the ANSYS
simulation portfolio, building upon the previous success with GPU
support in ANSYS® Mechanical™.

ANSYS' technology leadership in HPC scale-up and NVIDIA's
best-in-class hardware come together to augment traditional
multi-core central processing unit (CPU) parallel computing with
GPU accelerator technology. One customer taking advantage of this
new solver is Parametric Solutions Inc., which specializes in the
design, manufacture, test and assembly of gas turbine components
and modules.
"By adding NVIDIA GPU accelerators, our engineers cut the time
for typical ANSYS Mechanical models in half, doubled the
performance of maxed out CPU systems and often saved an entire
day's worth of work," said David
Cusano, chief technology officer and vice president of
Parametric Solutions Inc. "Now, with support for GPU acceleration
in ANSYS Fluent 15.0, complex CFD simulations can be accelerated in
a similar fashion, especially when paired with new, higher
performance NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPU accelerators. Our company is
excited about the continued development of GPUs by NVIDIA and GPU
acceleration in ANSYS."
"ANSYS has worked with NVIDIA to make sure our joint customers
can leverage cutting-edge GPU hardware for fluid dynamics
simulation," said Barbara Hutchings,
director of strategic partnerships at ANSYS. "ANSYS is investing
deeply in GPUs as an emerging and powerful technology, which is why
ANSYS has expanded its GPU support with NVIDIA through new
high-performance computing (HPC) licensing that takes advantage of
both central processing units (CPUs) and GPUs, and new GPU support
from ANSYS electromagnetic simulation solution, HFSS™ Transient.
Customers can now apply GPUs to speed up fluid dynamics, structural
mechanics, and electromagnetic simulations – expanding the value of
ANSYS HPC capabilities."
"Customers get better, higher performance simulations to address
their most difficult computational challenges thanks to our close
work with ANSYS," said Andrew
Cresci, general manager of Manufacturing Industries at
NVIDIA. "By adding support for GPU acceleration in ANSYS Fluent,
customers can run complex simulations considerably faster, leading
to higher quality and more efficient designs for planes, cars,
electrical devices and a range of other products."
