Launch of New Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Platform Fully Supported by RADIOSS

10/07/2010

Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 is a new HPC platform from Microsoft that is specifically designed to run parallel, high performance computing applications which takes advantage of the simple and familiar Windows operating environment.  Clients running RADIOSS on Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 managed clusters can increase job throughput allowing more time to enhance product performance and quality while decreasing time-to-market.

“Enabling RADIOSS, a highly parallelized finite element solver, on Microsoft’s new Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 platform allows our HyperWorks user community to fully exploit the computational power of clusters to develop products faster. Many of our customers already run design simulations within a Windows-based environment, and the new RADIOSS integration with Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 affords these customers the opportunity to shorten job cycle times, running more simulations while remaining in the familiar and intuitive Windows environment,”  said Piush Patel, director of partner programs at Altair Engineering.   To learn more about RADIOSS, please visit http://www.altairhyperworks.com/radioss.

“Companies such as Altair are an essential part of making technical computing power more broadly available and accessible,” said Bill Hamilton, Director, Technical Computing, Microsoft Corp.  “With RADIOSS enabled for Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, Altair helps ensure that our joint computer-aided engineering customers speed time to insight.”
