Palix launches ANDSolver beta program
March 23, 2010
Palix Technologies has introduced a new Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) product called ANDSolver that has been
designed from the ground up to use Graphics Processing
Units (GPUs) for fast and efficient aerodynamic analysis.
Although developing and running applications to use
multiple CPUs is a well established practice for high
performance science and engineering simulations, a newer
trend towards using GPUs for computation promises faster
results with lower hardware acquisition and operating
costs.
ANDSolver delivers on that promise with up to a 10x speedup
compared to a typical quad core CPU. This level of
performance is unique in that it is achieved on
unstructured meshes which have traditionally not been
considered amenable to GPUs because of the memory access
patterns. However, based on an innovative algorithm design
to maximize the performance of the NVIDIA CUDA
architecture, the ease and flexibility of unstructured
meshing can now be used on high-performance, cost-effective
GPUs.
A limited number of additional registrants will be accepted
prior to our first production release in Q2 2010. More
information can be found at http://www.palixtech.com for
our current beta testing program.
