New Test Suite Demonstrates High-Performance Computing

SOUTHPOINTE, Pa., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced the availability of an enhanced high-performance computing (HPC) benchmark suite. Designed to guide customers who are adopting HPC systems for simulation, the improved benchmark suite has been used by ANSYS partners to assess performance of software from ANSYS on the latest HPC systems and technologies. The new benchmark suite provides updated simulation workloads for structural analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), exercising a variety of simulation solution methodologies and addressing bigger simulation tasks, which increasingly have become the norm as engineering organizations tackle more detailed and complex simulations. The resulting performance data assists customers seeking to understand the benefit of HPC for specific simulation tasks and model sizes.

The expanded HPC benchmarking suite includes a set of simulation models that are representative of the breadth and depth of ANSYS software capabilities. Including 15 simulation models in the mechanical modeling area and seven in the fluids modeling area, the suite provides customers with performance metrics for a variety of model sizes and solver methods, while reflecting the trend toward larger models and comprehensive multiphysics simulation.

Performance results for the suite of benchmarks have been generated by AMD, HP, Intel, Mellanox Technologies and other partners, and they are available on the ANSYS Web site at http://www.ansys
