Design Exploration Technology
Expanding upon the distributed processing functionality introduced in version 5.0, 5.5 introduces parallel processing capabilities, which allow users to execute simulation codes and/or multiple design techniques simultaneously. For instance, independent design points can be evaluated in parallel across a network or on multi-processor machines. The parallel execution and all supporting activities are transparent to the user; however, the process can be reviewed using a simple GUI interface.
New capabilities also include enhanced runtime performance with a 3:1 reduction in execution time on an NT Platform. Combined with the program's new GUI interface, the runtime performance helps ensure that users can define their project parameters and create an optimum design more quickly and easily. This version includes Linux Operating System support and full GUI support for Excel integration.
