Dive 3.18.0: Run Simulations Up to 2x Faster with Compute Boost

Large simulations can take hours or even days to complete. While engineers wait for results, design decisions slow down, projects stall, and the next iteration is put on hold.

That's why we're introducing Compute Boost, a new simulation mode that helps engineers get results sooner by running simulations on faster compute hardware.

With Compute Boost, large simulations can take up to 2x faster, helping teams reduce wait times and move through design decisions more quickly.

How Compute Boost Works

When you're working against a deadline or running a large simulation, Compute Boost can help you get results significantly faster.

For example, a simulation that takes 10 hours in Standard mode may finish in 5 to 6.25 hours with Compute Boost.

Compute Boost is billed at 2 simulation hours for every hour of Compute Boost runtime.

This means:

• If your simulation runs 1.6x faster, the total cost increases by up to 25%.
• If your simulation runs 1.8x faster, the total cost increases by only 11%.
• If your simulation runs 2x faster, you get the results in half the time with no additional simulation-hour cost

In our internal testing, most simulations achieved 1.6-1.8x speedup

Same Workflow, Faster Results

Using Compute Boost doesn't require changes to your setup or workflow.

Simply select Compute Boost when launching a simulation and Dive will run the job on accelerated hardware. The simulation setup, process, and accuracy remain unchanged.

Furthermore, Compute Boost doesn’t have any impact on accuracy. Simulation results will be the exact same running in both Standard and Compute Boost speeds.

Availability

Compute Boost is available for the following license tiers:

• Production: 1 concurrent Compute Boost job
• Excellence: 4 concurrent Compute Boost jobs
• Global Group: 4 concurrent Compute Boost jobs per Team Space 

Compute Boost is not available for On-Demand or Essentials plans.

Note: Compute Boost is currently available in Europe. Availability in the Americas is coming soon.
