PITTSBURGH, Oct. 15,
2021 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Ansys LS-DYNA is the first commercial computer-aided
engineering (CAE) structural simulation software to support
Fujitsu's latest Arm-based PRIMEHPC supercomputers
- Ansys lowers computing costs, reduces hardware limitations, and
expedites production goals; LS-DYNA saves computational energy
consumption by providing
high-fidelity results faster
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) LS-DYNA is the first-ever
commercial CAE structural simulation software to support 64-bit Arm
architecture based FUJITSU Supercomputer PRIMEHPC FX1000 and FX700.
Through a new collaboration with Fujitsu, Ansys is not only
reducing product costs and hardware limitations for joint
customers, but also enabling more sustainable product
development.
Demand for high-performance computing (HPC), which can require
large amounts of energy consumption, is increasing while companies
also work to implement critical sustainability initiatives. Green
computing initiatives focus on reducing energy consumption, which
helps lessen emissions and lowers cost of ownership for customers.
By supporting LS-DYNA on Fujitsu's hardware platform, Ansys helps
customers reduce energy consumption and costs by offloading CAE
workloads to a more energy-efficient supercomputer.
"Fujitsu is pleased to make LS-DYNA available on the PRIMEHPC
series, which is based on the same architecture with the
supercomputer Fugaku," said Masahide Fujisaki, executive
director, Business Strategy Division, Infrastructure System
Business Unit, Fujitsu Limited. "We look forward to working
together with vendors to optimize commercial applications for the
PRIMEHPC series, while simultaneously offering the PRIMEHPC series
to manufacturers and other companies so that the results of this
work can be widely used in industry."
Moving forward, Ansys will integrate additional software
solutions to support the FUJITSU Supercomputer PRIMEHPC FX1000
and FX700 and to expand the availability of LS-DYNA to other
Arm-based solution providers.
"Ansys LS-DYNA is the first commercially released CAE structural
simulation solution available that supports the Arm-based FUJITSU
Supercomputer PRIMEHPC FX1000 and FX700," said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of
products at Ansys. "Our work with Fujitsu enables users to overcome
hardware limitations and reach production goals more sustainably.
Our customers no longer have to choose between the fast,
high-fidelity results delivered by HPC or meeting sustainability
goals – they can have both."
The single precision version of Ansys' solver is available now.
Ansys will release a double precision version of the solver in
2022. Early results of the single precision version on PRIMEHPC
FX1000 indicate impressive performance over 2X faster when compared
to PRIMEHPC FX100.
