Introduction: Introduction: Introduction: Introduction:
You already know that Hewlett Packard Visualize Workstations are
performance leaders in the industry, and have been since their introduction.
What you may not know is that Visualize Workstations perform better than
our competition on the toughest problems. As the complexity of the
problem increases, so does the performance of HP Visualize Workstations
utilizing PA-RISC architecture. The concept "the harder you work the better
we perform" can be demonstrated with ANSYS Multiphysics.
With a long-standing global partnership, HP and ANSYS continue to offer a
total collaborative engineering solution to customers -- providing the right
tool for the right job. ANSYS offers a wide range of solutions beginning
with the CAD integrated DesignSpace product to the mid-range, easy-to-use
ANSYS/Professional product to full ANSYS/Multiphysics. No matter what
the ANSYS application, HP has the platform of choice, from NT and UNIX
workstations to high-end scalable UNIX servers.
ANSYS and HP provide ongoing support for joint customers. Benchmarks
are performed to show that ANSYS code is continually being optimized to
take advantage of new architectures. One of the factors that enables
ANSYS users to solve larger problems faster and cheaper is the non-stop
improvement in computational power driving the high-tech industry. Hewlett-
Packard's 64-bit Precision Architecture RISC microprocessors (PA-8x00)
achieved leadership performance for ANSYS 5.5 with the introduction of
the PA-8500 chip in 1999. The UNIX and NT workstations and servers
introduced in 2000, along with ANSYS 5.6.1 extend the benefits of the
HP/ANSYS solution to even higher levels by increased optimizations .
