64bit support boosts modelling performance
Ansoft has released a 64bit technology solution compatible with Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating environment (OE)
Designed to meet customer demand for microwave and antenna systems and ultra-high-speed packaging and chip designs, Ansoft's 64bit 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 1000 workstation and the Sun Fire V880 server.

"Today's increasingly complex studies require the immense floating-point power and the high performance of Ansoft's 64bit solver technology on the Sun platform", said Peter Denyer, group manager of Design and Analysis Market Development at Sun Microsystems.
"Ansoft's products, running on the scalable and powerful Sun platform, will help engineers reduce time to market for high-frequency devices".
According to Dr Nancy Lambert, Vice President of Research and Development at Ansoft, "With the increased capacity of the new 64bit 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 tradeoffs 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 64bit Solaris OE is HFSS, the premier product for 3D high-frequency electromagnetic design.
Ansoft will demonstrate HFSS for the first time running in a 64bit mode on Sun Solaris 8 OE at the Ansoft High-Frequency Users' Workshop, to be held in Los Angeles on 24-25th January, and at the Wireless Conference on 26-28th February, in San Jose, CA.
The newly ported version of HFSS will be commercially available by March.
