Interesting article re:Xeon and Dell application ---------------------------- ANSYS Certifies Dell's Precision WorkStation 610 Powered By Dual Intel Pentium II Xeon Processors PR Newswire - July 23, 1998 14:05 SOUTHPOINTE, Pa., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSS) today announced the certification of the Dell Precision WorkStation 610 for running ANSYS/Multiphysics(TM), a coupled-field, multidisciplinary finite element analysis program. Certification means that the Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq: DELL) workstations and graphics cards meet or exceed the technical requirements for ANSYS(R) software. ANSYS previously certified Dell's Precision WorkStation 410 and 400 models. This certification is part of the ISO 9001 documentation and quality assurance requirements on which ANSYS relies to ensure its products meet users' expectations. "The Dell Precision WorkStation 610, powered by dual Intel(R) Pentium(R) II Xeon(TM) processors demonstrated unprecedented multi-processing and scaling performance for an Intel-based system during our tests," reports Paul Bemis, Vice President of Marketing at ANSYS. These capabilities ensure that even the most complex Multiphysics models will solve efficiently on both single- and dual-CPU machines. "The 610's graphics performance is nearly twice that of anything we have seen on any high-end Intel-based workstation," Bemis adds. In plotting, for example, ANSYS tests show that the 610 can manipulate ANSYS models at a rate of over 740,000 polygons a second. "This latest certification underscores our commitment to give customers the flexibility to run their ANSYS software on the widest selection of hardware platforms in the CAE industry." "The certification of the Precision WorkStation 610 for ANSYS/Multiphysics is a significant endorsement of Dell's direct-to-the-customer business model and our resolve to address the mission-critical requirements of manufacturing industry customers," said Jeff Clarke, Vice President and General Manager, Dell Precision WorkStations. "Less than a month after the announcement of our Pentium II Xeon processor, ANSYS has already validated a big jump in performance of ANSYS/Multiphysics on Dell's dual processor Precision WorkStation 610," said Anand Chandrasekher, General Manager, Workstation Products Division, Intel Corp. "This is particularly exciting for CAE customers, and underscores the tremendous momentum of Intel based solutions in the workstation market segment." Available with single or dual Pentium II Xeon processors, the Dell 610 provides professional users a powerful yet cost effective tool to run the most demanding applications available under the Microsoft Corp.'s Windows NT(R) operating system. A high-end addition to Dell's workstation line, the Precision WorkStation 610 is intended for customers who demand maximum performance in computer-aided engineering and computer-aided design (CAE/CAD), and unfettered access to their entire suite of office applications, all on a single platform.
