Outline
Computing platform trends and support roadmap • Windows • Linux
ANSYS 15.0 Platform Support • By application Other Platform Related Issues • MPI and Interconnect technology • Job Schedulers • Remote Display • GP-GPU accelerator support • Tested graphics cards • Virtualization, Cloud Computing
© 2014 ANSYS, Inc. March 6, 2014 3
Computing Platform Trends Compute servers • Steady migration to servers or clusters running Windows or Linux ● Multicore x64 processors from Intel and AMD ● Linux dominant; steady growth of Windows HPC Servers ● 64-bit OS now standard
• Negligible footprint on other systems (e.g., legacy UNIX, Itanium) • Emergence of GP-GPUs for accelerated processing
Desktop workstations / Interactive systems • Windows 64-bit dominant, 32-bit waning • Smaller, but significant, use of Linux – nearly all 64-bit • Emergence of GP-GPUs for accelerated processing ANSYS Strategy: Focus on 64 bit Windows and Linux for both desktop and compute servers. Continue to focus on multicore processor optimization. Pursue GPU acceleration where feasible.

ANSYS 15.0 - LINUX Support Notes
ANSYS supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Enterprise Linux (SLES / SLED) • RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 • SLES / SLED 11 • Server and Desktop editions are supported.
● Desktop editions recommended for interactive use. ● Server editions require additional drivers and tools to support interactive use. ● Home editions are not supported.
ANSYS does not support other “compatible” Linux distributions ● Fedora, Scientific Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Oracle LINUX, etc. ● We can not sustain certification and technical support of multiple Linux distributions ● Stability issues have been encountered on some open-source Linux ● We will only provide support on issues that can be reproduced on our certified RedHat
and SUSE Linux releases.

ANSYS Remote Solve Manager and Third Party Resource Management / Job Schedulers
The ANSYS Remote Solve Manager (ANSYS RSM) can interface with the following commercial batch queuing systems on the specified operating systems:
• Platform LSF ● Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES)
• PBS Professional ● Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES)
• Univa Grid Engine ● Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES)
• Windows HPC ● Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 (Standard edition)
ANSYS RSM can also manage server resources directly without the involvement of a commercial batch queuing system.
Some standalone ANSYS applications support a slightly different list of third party job schedulers.

Other Platform Policies and Requirements Virtualization • ANSYS 15.0 will support issues that we can reproduce on the base OS, but will not support issues
specific to the virtualization layer. Cloud Computing • ANSYS is ‘hardware neutral’ and can support your use of our applications on 3P / cloud infrastructure • Currently, we do not directly support any specific cloud infrastructure. Mobile Device Support • EKM Mobile Client is supported on Android 2.3+ and Apple devices: iOS4.x+
User Programmable Feature Support • For product-specific compiler requirements, see Chapter 2, Platform Details, in the installation guide for
your platform • Obtaining Visual Studio 2008 (required for linking user programmable features on Windows platforms):
● If you do not have Visual Studio 2008, you can still link user programmable features by downloading Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 SDK from the following location: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C17BA869-9671-4330-A63E-1FD44E0E2505&displaylang=en
3D Input Device Support • 3DConnexion Products (SpaceBall and SpacePilot Pro) are supported for Mechanical APDL, ANSYS Meshing,
DesignModeler, Mechanical, ANSYS ICEM CFD, and CFD-Post for graphics manipulation on Windows x64. Selection operations still require a mouse.
3D/ Stereo Visualization • 3D/Stereo visualization is supported in ANSYS CFD-Post • Stereo-enabled hardware required; tested internally on Planar and Zalman stereo monitors
