ACUSIM AcuSolve Supports Windows HPC Server 2008

By DE Editors

ACUSIM Software, Inc. (Mountain View, CA)  announced that AcuSolve now supports Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008, a server operating system designed for the high-performance computing (HPC)  market. This gives mainstream computer-aided engineering (CAE) users access to a scalable, accurate, and performance-driven CFD solution in the familiar Windows HPC environment. ACUSIM will debut AcuSolve on Windows HPC Server 2008 at the ACUSIM Energy Day for Offshore Oil Platform and Wind Turbine Simulation (November 6, 2008, at Microsoft Building in Houston).

A general-purpose,  finite element-based CFD solver, AcuSolve integrates seamlessly with CAE design and analysis applications to excel at solving complex multidisciplinary design problems involving coupled fluid flow and structural phenomena. The addition of Windows HPC Server 2008 support presents a powerful and scalable solution to Windows-based CAE users from desktops to workgroups.

Windows HPC Server 2008 combines the power of the Windows Server 2008 with out-of-the-box functionality to help improve the productivity and reduce the complexity of the HPC environment. Testing shows that with AcuSolve running on Windows HPC cluster, CAE users are able to obtain great scalability and performance while offering a familiar path for users to apply more computing power as needed.

AcuSolve is also available on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Unix and Linux desktop computers,  as well as the traditional Unix or Linux-based HPC clusters and Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) systems.
