GEMS Hardware Acceleration Module
Use the VALU (vector unit) in the regular CPU
No extra hardware device requirement
Extremely good for multi-core, multi-CPU or cluster acceleration
High performance for general EM simulation
Excellent performance for both Intel and AMD processors
Support Windows and Linux operating systems
 
 
Product Description
 
GEMS uses the vector unit (VALU) inside the regualr CPU to accelrate
the EM simulation without any extra hardware devices. For example,
one AMD PCU today includes 48VALUs.		Using VALU acceleration, GEMS can speed up the simulation upto
four times for both Intel and AMD processors on both Linux or
Windows systems.
  
GEMS uses two dual CPU computers can reach the performance
up to 850Mcells/s, compared to the fastest GPU performance
670Mcells/s for the ideal test cases.		GEMS performance on a regualr cluster can reach up to 5700Mcells/s for 18 nodes connected by using the 10Gbps network system, which is much faster than the GPU cluster.
