Parallel processing has continued been a able aisle to cogent acceleration increases in computer simulations. Recent abstruse developments accomplish alongside processing a applied absoluteness on claimed computers active Windows:
* The adeptness to abode bigger absolute anamnesis in Windows XP64 and Vista64.
* The growing prevalence of dual-core and quad-core machines.
Field Precision has the ambition of acknowledging automated alongside processing in the 64-bit versions of all of our software bales by mid-2010. Because the programs are accounting in FORTRAN 95 with accurate optimization, the consecutive versions already accomplish absorbing speed. The apple-pie cipher alignment makes parallelization aboveboard and effective. With alongside processing, the aggregation expects acceleration addition abutting to 2X for a dual-core apparatus and 4X for a quad-core machine.
Field Precision afresh created a alongside adaptation of Aether, a 3D time and frequency-domain electromagnetic code. The unified finite-element amalgamation handles all stages of a solution: cobweb generation, acreage adding and alternate analysis. Time-domain calculations are adapted for pulsed-power devices, electromagnetic arrest from brief contest and the circulation of alluring fields into conductive structures. In the abundance domain, Aether handles both bankrupt and accessible structures. Closed arrangement tasks cover searches for beating frequencies, bearing of approach acreage distributions and adding of $Q$ factors. Open-system solutions cover antenna simulation and the assurance of S ambit for bake networks.
Benchmark tests were performed with blunt examples from the Aether appliance library. In a resonant-mode search, the accepted consecutive adaptation of the affairs completed the assignment in 255 seconds. On the average, the assignment acclimated one processor of a dual-Xeon system. The alongside adaptation acclimated 100% of the arrangement adequacy and completed the assignment in 142 seconds. The run time was 56% of the serial-program time, abutting to the ideal.
The alongside adaptation of Aether will be appear for accepted administration on Feb 1, 2010. All purchasers of the consecutive adaptation will accept a chargeless update.
