ANSYS software optimized for cost-effective solutions on the 64-bit Fujitsu HALstation.HOUSTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 1996--ANSYS Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ANSS ANSS Advanced National Seismic System (USGS) ANSS American Nature Study Society ) announced today that it has successfully tested, certified, and optimized its ANSYS ANSYS Analysis System (R) design analysis and optimization software on the Fujitsu HALstation 300 series hardware platform. The HALstations from HAL Computer Systems HAL Computer Systems was a Campbell, CA-based computer manufacturer. It was started in 1990 by Andrew Heller, a principal designer of the original IBM POWER architecture. His idea was to build computers based on a RISC architecture for the commercial market. , a Fujitsu company, are 64-bit SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill Solaris-based workstations. The HALstation offers a 64-bit CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and a 64-bit operating system. ANSYS 5.3 has been optimized as a 32-bit version for the HALstation series. This new hardware option offers ANSYS customers cost-effective solutions and fast turnaround for real-world engineering environments. Richard Augusty, HAL Computer Systems vice president and general manager of the workstation division, stated, "HAL is very pleased to have ANSYS Inc. certify and optimize its software to run on the Fujitsu HALstation 300 series. ANSYS is well-known worldwide for its innovative mechanical computer-aided engineering software, customer support, and quality. We have already begun to work with ANSYS Inc. and ANSYS Support Distributors to deliver cost-effective solutions and first-class support to our customers." ANSYS Inc. is committed to providing the most open and flexible analysis solutions to suit customer requirements for engineering software in today's competitive marketplace. ANSYS Inc. partners with leading design software suppliers to develop state-of-the-art CAD integrated products. A global network of ANSYS Support Distributors provides sales, support, and training for customers. HAL Computer Systems serves as Fujitsu's principal development center for advanced 64-bit open systems hardware and operating systems products. HAL Computer Systems designs, manufactures, and markets the first 64-bit SPARC Solaris-compatible systems on the market, which are geared to meet the needs of SPARC-based technical workstation users for extended 64-bit addressing and computational performance. The HALstation delivers performance up to 5.08 SPECint95 and 9.54 SPECfp95, with LINPACK results of 69 MFLOPS See megaFLOPS. 1. (unit) MFLOPS - megaflops. 2. (benchmark) MFLOPS - A benchmark which attemps to estimate a system's floating-point "MFLOPS" rating for specific FADD, FSUB, FMUL and FDIV instruction mixes. C Source. Results, ftp://ftp.nosc. and 178 MFLOPS, for the 100x100 and 1000x10000 DP benchmarks, respectively. Four models (two with large memory configurations) all provide exceptional price/performance for leading MCAE packages such as ANSYS.
