ANSYS software users can experience gains in speed, fidelity and productivity with the recent release of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600, realized in collaboration with ANSYS High-Performance Computing (HPC) experts. By accelerating throughput, the new Intel processor technologies will enable ANSYS users to consider more product ideas, easily making design tradeoffs and increasing their engineering productivity.
Intel teamed with ANSYS to develop the solution since engineering simulation generates numerically large computing problems and product development teams are often considered power users of corporate computing resources.“ANSYS has worked with Intel to make sure our joint customers can leverage the new Xeon processor family to ensure their products will perform as expected in the real word,” said Jim Cashman, President and CEO, ANSYS.
In anticipation of HPC improvements such as Intel’s, ANSYS added new capabilities to its software, that led to impressive overall performance gains. ANSYS and Intel continue to explore the limits of scale-out processing, including the MIC architecture, which combines numerous Intel processing cores onto a single chip. Other collaborative efforts include interconnect optimization, with ANSYS and Intel’s Fabric Technology Group working to further enhance the performance and scalability.
