Usage of graphics card for future ATK technology

[serhan]

Hi,

I've a suggestion for the speed up of ATK for the future releases. We've used an electromagnetic software and the provider offered an acceleration option using the specially designed cards using GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) for FDTD calculations. The link is as follows for the accelerator cards: http://www.remcom.com/xf7/xstream . I do not know what happens exactly inside the ATK motor (I know very complex thing occur ), but I thought ATK may use an accelerator solution.

Cheers,

We do entertain some plans towards that direction, but we are not in a position to give any details at this point.

We're looking for the realization of plans.

Any luck with this direction since 2009?!!!

No, actually not. We have worked more on improving the performance on CPUs, since we feel this gives a larger benefit for more customers.
