Remcom Announces Custom Configured Hardware Offering for Maximum XFdtd Acceleration
State College -- PA December 17, 2009 -- Remcom announces a new program to partner with market-leading computer manufacturers to build custom XFdtd® systems. Outfitted with the latest in graphics processing unit (GPU) technology, these systems further extend Remcom’s efforts to enable customers to deliver products faster and more cost effectively. The first partner to join the program is Link Computer Corporation (Bellwood, PA).
With their extensive background providing hardware and software scientific and business solutions, Link was uniquely positioned to create a hardware platform capable of the superior performance Remcom was seeking. To offer customers more options, Remcom plans to add solutions from other vendors as the program grows.
“The challenge presented to us by Remcom was exciting -- to engineer the ultimate computer for maximum efficiency of their software -- and we’re delighted to be the first to partner in this program. Because our roots are in software development, we understand the nature of Remcom’s mission and can combine that with our expertise in providing custom solutions to customers,” said Tim Morder, Link’s vice president of sales and marketing.
Link has created a Remcom-certified system that optimizes XFdtd’s performance by building the recommended GPUs directly into the product. The system is available with either two or four NVIDIA CUDA-enabled Tesla series or Quadro FX GPUs. This hardware, when combined with Remcom’s XStream® GPU technology, provides customers with a complete solution for speeding EM simulation performance and decreasing design time.
“Our focus is to continually find creative ways to get our customers’ products to market faster than any other EM simulation software provider,” said Steve Fast, president of Remcom. “Customers responded to the announcement about our GPU acceleration technology with excitement and requests for help in choosing the most optimal computer system to make the most of it. While a custom-engineered system is not necessary, we wanted to eliminate extra steps for those users that prefer additional computer power, allowing them to get up and running with the right tool and to optimize the performance of our products in as little time as possible. We chose Link to provide a convenient, all-in-one solution based on their expertise, longevity, and reputation for providing excellent and responsive support.”
