MachineWorks GPU handles material removal and collision detection on the GPU instead of the CPU.
MachineWorks Ltd has released MachineWorks 8.7, which includes the initial version of MachineWorks GPU—a new tool that performs geometric modeling operations using the GPU.
Highlights include:
- Up to 10x faster performance using GPU-based material removal simulation
- New multiple Boolean APIs enhance performance for in-session Boolean ops
- Improvements to profile preparation including optimisations for saw-tooth profiles
- More targeted and faster pruning of large snapshot trees
- Improved eccentric turning, including support in the Application Framework Library
MachineWorks GPU runs material removal modeling and collision-detection tasks on the GPU instead of the CPU. GPUs typically have significantly more processing cores than CPUs, enabling improved performance for operations that benefit from data parallelization.
Results from large three-axis and five-axis jobs are now returned more quickly, with mid-sized jobs computed in under a second.
