Solvers speed towards 64bit processing
Updated versions of Infolytica's electromagnetics, electric and thermal design packages, with associated design optimisation, have just been released.
Updated versions of Infolytica's electromagnetics, electric, and thermal design packages, with associated design optimisation, have just been released With increase in speed (from 1.1 to 2.5 times) of the already-acclaimed Infolytica solvers, together with increased memory allocations (from 1.2 to 2.0 times), these represent the ultimate in performance which can be obtained from engineering design software using standard 32bit PC operating systems

Software accelerates to 64bit processing
The latest releases of MagNet, ElecNet and ThermNet are available as both 32 and 64bit applications.
Simulation software evolves for 64bit processing
Infolytica has been hard at work preparing its software applications for the brave new world of 64bit processing.
However, these just form the precursor to the step change in performance which will occur when totally new 64bit PC versions of the principal Infolytica packages are released this autumn.
The migration to Microsoft's Windows XP Professional x64 platform presented a tremendous opportunity to update the system architecture, and the work performed up to now has resulted in the changes that are so evident, even in the latest 32bit versions.
Some idea of the performance improvement to be expected this autumn can be gained from the respective memory capabilities of corresponding operating systems.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition supports 128Gbyte of RAM and 16Tbyte of virtual memory address space, as compared with 4Gbyte of both physical RAM and virtual memory address space for 32bit Windows XP Professional.
So, for all practical purposes, the size of engineering-design model capable of being simulated using the next generation 64bit PC Infolytica software will be unlimited.
