Nvidia’s Tesla C2070 sits inside a workstation or server and features 448 CUDA cores and 6GB memory dedicated for GPU compute
Two of the largest automakers in Europe are evaluating Nvidia’s GPU compute technology for analysing the structural behaviour of large engine models.
Testing in Abaqus 6.11, the latest release the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) product suite from Dassault’s Simulia, Nvidia’s Quadro and Tesla Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), coupled with Intel Xeon CPUs, were said to run Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulations twice as fast as with CPUs alone.
