[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nCST MICROWAVE STUDIO(R) Users Can Gain up to 40% Performance Improvements\nfor Electromagnetic Simulations with Acceleware's Next Generation of\nSoftware Acceleration Products\n\n\nCALGARY and DARMSTADT, Germany, Aug. 25 /CNW/ - Acceleware(R) Corp.\n(TSX-V: AXE), a leading developer of high performance computing applications,\nand Computer Simulation Technology (CST), a supplier of leading edge\nelectromagnetic (EM) simulation software, today announced a new CUDA (Compute\nUnified Device Architecture) based Acceleware solution for accelerating EM\nsimulations with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO(R) (CST MWS). Trial tests of this new\nacceleration product have delivered performance gains of up to 40% compared to\nthe current product. This faster version is compatible with current generation\nGPUs, delivering significant speed-ups to CST customers without having to\nupgrade hardware.\n\n\n"CST MWS users already benefiting from our acceleration solutions will\nexperience significant performance improvements with a simple software\nupdate," said Ryan Schneider, CTO of Acceleware. "This combined offering\nenables Acceleware and CST to deliver the first ever CUDA powered solution to\nsolve electromagnetic problems."\n\n\nThe new Acceleware software uses NVIDIA's CUDA programming language that\nwas designed to solve complex computational problems, enabling users to access\nmulti-core parallel processing technology. Engineers and product designers who\nvalue the CST MWS time domain solver's efficiency, accuracy and user-friendly\ninterface, will benefit from increased acceleration to help them tackle larger\nsimulation problems and meet production deadlines.\n\n\n"NVIDIA Tesla products in combination with CST and Acceleware's software\nprovide an accelerated design environment for end users to reduce the time\nspent simulating products," said Andy Keane, General Manager of the GPU\nComputing Business at NVIDIA. "Acceleware's use of CUDA in its libraries to\nharness the parallel architecture of the GPU will provide compelling value and\nconsiderable speed-ups for designers who frequently perform EM simulations."\n\n\nAcceleware's CUDA enabled solvers take advantage of highly parallel\nNVIDIA compute hardware to offer performance gains while performing lengthy EM\ndesign simulations. Users will be able...
