11.2 GPGPU accelerated direct equation solver

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: Performance of the GPGPU accelerated direct equation solver has been improved, and GPGPU memory requirements have been reduced.

Description: For large models where the solution time is dominated by the direct equation solver, use of GPGPU can reduce the overall time of the analysis significantly, as shown in Figure 11–1. These types of models use predominantly solid elements and have more than 1 million equations.
