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 Server 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 dominant, both 64-bit and 32-bit 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. 3

8 ANSYS LINUX Support Notes ANSYS supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Novell SuSE Enterprise Linux (SLES / SLED) RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 SLES / SLED 10, 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 Novell Linux releases. 8

21 Other Platform Policies and Requirements Virtualization ANSYS does not formally support use of our software on virtual machines at R14 and R14.5. At R15, ANSYS 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. Remote display (Exceed, VNC, NX) ANSYS does not certify or support remote display options, but is moving to do so at R15 These options are subject to local implementation issues (e.g., network environment) Mobile Device Support ANSYS 14.5 does not support mobile devices. 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: 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. 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 21

22 ANSYS Quality Assurance Services (NQA1) ANSYS Quality Assurance Services provide certification for nuclear industry customers Verification testing packages enable on-site certification These QA services are supported only for platforms supported in the initial release Customers should refer to each release's Installation Guide for details on which platforms are supported at initial release.
