Ansoft Announces 64-bit Technology Solution for Sun's Solaris 8 Operating Environment.Business Editors PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2002 Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) today announced its 64-bit technology solution compatible with Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , Inc.'s (Nasdaq:SUNW SUNW Sun Microsystems, Inc (former stock symbol; now JAVA) SUNW Stanford University Network Workstation (Sun Microsystems, Inc) ) Solaris(TM) Operating Environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. (OE). Designed to meet customer demand for microwave and antenna systems and ultra high-speed packaging and chip designs, Ansoft's 64-bit solution for the Solaris OE will provide simulation-software users with the ability to run extremely large models on high-performance systems such as the Sun Blade The Sun Blade series was a computer workstation line developed and sold by Sun Microsystems from 2000 to 2006. The Sun Blade architecture was based on the UltraSPARC microprocessor family. The range replaced the earlier Sun Ultra workstation series. (TM) 1000 workstation and the Sun Fire(TM) V880 server. "Today's increasingly complex studies require the immense floating point power and the high performance of Ansoft's 64-bit solver technology on the Sun platform," said Peter Denyer, group manager of Design and Analysis Market Development at Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Ansoft's products, running on the scalable and powerful Sun platform, will help engineers reduce time-to-market for high-frequency devices." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Dr. Nancy Lambert, Vice President of Research and Development at Ansoft, "With the increased capacity of the new 64-bit architecture, customers will now be able to solve problems at least ten times the size of previous problems, making it no longer necessary to weigh trade-offs between the size of the problem and the amount of details that can be included. This is a milestone for the computing power of 3D electromagnetic-based tools." The first Ansoft product to be ported to Sun's 64-bit Solaris OE is HFSS HFSS High Frequency Structure Simulator HFSS High Fat, Salt and Sugar (food content) HFSS High-Frequency Sounder System HFSS High Frequency Simulator System HFSS High Frequency Sensor Subsystem (TM), the premier product for 3D high-frequency electromagnetic design. Ansoft will demonstrate HFSS for the first time running in a 64-bit mode on Sun Solaris(TM) 8 OE at the Ansoft High-Frequency Users' Workshop, to be held in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. on January 24-25, and at the Wireless Conference on February 26-28, in San Jose, CA. The newly ported version of HFSS will be commercially available by March. About HFSS Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) is a powerful, full-wave, finite-element electromagnetic (EM) simulator that enables engineers to design three-dimensional (3D) high-frequency structures, such as wave guides, microwave filters, connectors, integrated-circuit (IC) packages, and antennas found in cellular telephones, broadband communications systems, and microwave circuits.
