Ansys announced that Ansys Mechanical is one of the first commercial finite element analysis (FEA) programs supporting AMD Instinct accelerators, the newest data center GPUs from AMD. The AMD Instinct accelerators are designed to provide exceptional performance for data centers and supercomputers to help solve the world's most complex problems. To support the AMD Instinct accelerators, Ansys developed APDL code in Ansys Mechanical to interface with AMD ROCm libraries on Linux, which will support performance and scaling on the AMD accelerators.

Ansys' latest collaboration with AMD resulted in a solution that, according to Ansys' tests, significantly speeds up simulation of large structural mechanical models—between three and six times faster for Ansys Mechanical applications using the sparse direct solver. Adding support for AMD Instinct accelerators in Ansys Mechanical gives customers greater flexibility in their choice of high-performance computing (HPC) hardware.




"Today's large, complex engineering challenges require quick, predictively accurate simulations that scale," said Brad McCredie, corporate vice president, Data Center and Accelerated Business Unit at AMD. "The collaboration between Ansys and AMD can enable a speed boost for some applications, enabling our joint customers to run complex structural simulations that drive higher quality, more efficient designs for cars, planes, and a range of other products while meeting their deadlines."

"Ansys' collaboration with AMD will help enable mutual customers to leverage cutting-edge GPU hardware for Ansys Mechanical applications in the data center, both on-premises and in the cloud to reduce time to market and deliver more optimal solutions," said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys. "This work is well-aligned with our high-power computing strategy to invest deeply in GPUs as an emerging, sustainable, powerful technology for Ansys simulations."

Hi,
Yeah but everyone wants to know how does it mine :cool:
 
And also wanna know if it can run "Can it run Crysis" without stuttering, flickering and the obligatory BSOD, hahaha :)
 
I have no doubt come Zen 5 or Zen 6 these accelerators will be in desktop too. AMD is going to be adding lots of accelerators going forward and Zen 4 will have some too. AI and machine learning are the obvious ones coming to AMD and Intel cpus. Many people would run finite element analysis on a pc, so this would be an amazing boost without the need for ultra-high end cpu's. Even many universities couldn't afford ludicrous HEDT prices.
 
About damn time ANSYS gets on the GPU train. Running those large simulations with simple heat transfer conditions on just the CPU took days.
