Neue Sun HPC-Systeme mit AMD Opteron CPUs

Numerical simulation of real-world problems has become standard practice among manufacturers worldwide, helping to reduce costs and meet short time-to-market windows. At the same time, simulation has helped improve product quality, optimize materials usage, and address increasingly stringent governmental safety and environmental regulations. Termed virtual prototype development (VPD) or mechanical computer-aided engineering (MCAE), these simulation techniques typically employ finite element analysis (FEA) methods. Together with high performance computing (HPC) technologies, the latest Sun x64 (x86,64-bit) systems based on the AMD Opteron processor deliver outstanding performance and scalability for MCAE and VPD applications, allowing manufacturing firms to produce better and safer products at affordable costs.
