Lanika announces release of APEX 2019 V1 from Breault Research Organization (BRO)

APEX now includes parallel processing for improved ray tracing speed and efficiency

Bangalore, INDIA, [February 20, 2019]: AS RELEASED BY BREAULT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, INC. — TUCSON, Ariz.–FEB. 19, 2019 — Breault Research Organization (BRO), the global provider of virtual prototyping software and optical engineering services, is pleased to announce the release of APEX 2019 V1.

BRO’s APEX add-in for the SolidWorks 3D-modeling environment is based on our ASAP raytracing engine, and enables the design and analysis of optical/illumination systems using an easy-to-follow workflow.

APEX now includes parallel processing for improved ray tracing speed and efficiency. APEX uses the same computational kernel as ASAP NextGen and therefore its CoreMax technology to automatically run parallel processes on all cores on a local PC. In addition, you can control the number of cores accessed on each machine.

You can allocate the number of cores per process through the APEX Project Settings. You can also indicate automatic core allocation for all available cores on your machine.

Parallelization or multi-core support is implemented in APEX through the Message Passing Interface or MPI. MPI has been actively developed since early 1990’s for parallel super computers and now is widely used for solving significant scientific and engineering problems on parallel computers with thousands of CPUs. MPI is considered the standard technology for parallel-distributed computing.

MPI achieves parallelization in the process level instead of the thread level used in multi-threading technology. It is important to note that Hyper or Multi-Threading is no substitute for physical cores and true parallel processing since a multi-threaded core must share processing duties and cannot be allocated to a single task.

For a complete list of new features and fixes in APEX 2019 V1, please refer to the RELEASE NOTES in the Customer Download Area.
