EM Solution Features
|
Immediately strengthen the bottom line by putting time saving processing power in the hands of the product design team. |
- INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY
Break the barrier that constrains product development by completing iterative design parameter simulations 30X to 50X faster than workstations alone. |
|
Works directly with your trusted EM simulation/modeling tool. |
Save on space and power by eliminating the need for large-scale computing clusters and expensive specialized server rooms. |
The Acceleware-Enabled Future
|
The Accelerator and ClusterInABox bring supercomputing to your desktop by leveraging the parallel processing capability of NVIDIA GPUs. For a fraction of the cost you can take compute-intensive processing out of the back room and put the power on your desktop. |
Acceleware empowers applications that require large amounts of computation, take a lot of time, and can be divided into independent subtasks. Electromagnetic modeling and seismic data processing are examples of applications that can benefit from Acceleware performance enhancement. |

FDTD
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is a widely used computation modeling technique that is one of the means to computationally model many scientific and engineering problems dealing with electromagnetic wave interactions with material structures.
FDTD modeling applications range from the analysis and optimization of antennae (for radio, television and radar), to the design of microwave circuits and the influence of electromagnetic fields on the human body (wireless communications devices, digital interconnects, and biomedical imaging/treatment) to visible light (photonic crystals, nanoplasmonics, and biophotonics).

* depending on Simulation Size
The performance of different numerical solutions to Maxwell's equations ('solvers') can be compared best by the time required to reach a predefined simulation accuracy. There are many components which contribute to performance: quality of meshing, solver, hardware platform and any other features that may reduce the runtime. Accurate conformal methods may improve solver performance by orders of magnitude compared to standard approaches. Similarly, efficient implementation on powerful hardware can deliver a competitive edge.

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
Acceleware’s solutions use 70% less power.
Acceleware is dedicated to providing energy efficient product solutions through our Eco-Friendly AXE Certified program. We continue to generate software solutions that enable massive processing power with a smaller environmental footprint.
How do we generate these great savings? Acceleware software allows seismic data processing jobs to be run on GPUs. With GPU accelerators installed within your clusters, you can process 5 to 10 times more data within the same size and power footprint. Easily extend the useful life of your data center space by increasing capacity without increasing footprint when Acceleware and GPU technology is implemented.
Give yourself the potential savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars for infrastructure upgrades such as additional power and cooling with Acceleware. You will appreciate lower rental costs for floor space, lower power costs, with an increase of processing capability.
With an estimated savings of over $3,500 per year per accelerated server or tens of thousands per year for large installations, Acceleware has the right solution for you and your business needs.
How Can Acceleware's Solutions Help?
Acceleware provides access to the massively parallel, multithreaded compute resources of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). GPUs can dramatically accelerate computations that are inherently parallel and data intensive. Acceleware developers optimize parallelization through vectorization of code and detailed knowledge of the processing hardware.
