Sept. 11 — Convergent Science, the leader in internal combustion engine (ICE) simulation, has greatly increased the capability and performance of its CONVERGE software after adopting Allinea Forge, the development tool suite for debugging, profiling and optimizing high performance software from Allinea Software.
Convergent Science’s clients sought to run ever higher quality simulations in shorter times that can take advantage of the size of today’s systems, and the company knew that more effective development tools were needed to unlock performance.
Joshua Strodtbeck, Senior Research Engineer at Convergent Science, said, “Our immediate problem was not being able to debug efficiently in parallel – that led us to explore Allinea Forge. Now we also use it extensively to improve our software performance. It shows up all the bottlenecks – and the combination of the profiler MAP and debugger DDT gives us deeper insight into the causes of those bottlenecks.”
Strodtbeck adds, “As a result of using Allinea’s tools, we’ve increased our performance scaling and our clients are benefiting from faster simulations – running jobs much more efficiently on hundreds of cores when that hadn’t previously been an option.”
David Lecomber, CEO, Allinea Software added “We are proud to be a part of Convergent Science’s success story and are delighted that Allinea Forge has enabled Convergent Science to make this major leap forward in the capability of their software.”
