Altair solutions now supported by NVIDIA.
Altair has announced that products from its Altair HyperWorks design and simulation platform are now supported by NVIDIA Grace CPU and Grace Hopper Superchip architectures. This expansion will provide its users with more flexibility to run Altair’s tools on NVIDIA and Arm architectures.
Both NVIDIA architectures are designed to provide high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. Users should benefit from improved performance, efficiency, and scalability.
“Altair’s solutions achieving peak performance on Grace and Grace Hopper marks a pivotal moment in our commitment to our customers' needs,” said Sam Mahalingam, Chief Technology Officer at Altair. “Leveraging NVIDIA’s CPU and GPU architectures, we are poised to drive artificial intelligence innovation and deliver substantial performance and sustainability gains.”
The computational intelligence specialist's solutions speed up the NVIDIA Hopper GPU series simulations by up to twice as much as its predecessor. This expanded support shows Altair’s ability to run on alternative CPU and CPU-GPU architectures, helping its users to fulfil their energy efficiency and speed goals.
Altair solutions that support Grace and Grace Hopper architectures:
- Altair OptiStruct.
- Altair Radioss.
- OpenRadioss.
- Altair ultraFluidX.
- Altair nanoFluidX.
- Altair PBS Professional.
- Altair Grid Engine.
Tim Costa, Senior Director of CAE/EDA, Quantum and HPC at NVIDIA, added, “This is yet another milestone in NVIDIA and Altair’s long-standing collaboration to accelerate computer-aided engineering workloads. Giving customers access to Altair’s powerful software tools on our Grace CPU and Grace Hopper Superchip architectures will empower them to push boundaries of innovation and design across multiple industries.”
