Darmstadt, Germany, and Calgary, Canada -- Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and Acceleware Corp. announced their channel arrangement and availability of Acceleware's hardware acceleration solution for CST's Time Domain solver within CST MICROWAVE STUDIO 2006 (CST MWS).

Acceleware's technology reduces simulation run times and opens up new dimensions for design and development engineers relying on CST's Time Domain solver. Projects in areas like antennas, passive component design, signal integrity and many others can benefit from this new development. The combination of Acceleware's technology with CST's Time Domain solver will increase simulation speeds when compared to CST's previously recommended computer specifications.

"Computer simulation is becoming increasingly attractive for all kinds of design processes due to a steady flow of improvements in software development and also due to a rapid improvement in computer hardware. The Frequency Domain has been benefiting from the increase in available memory in the recent years, but users of CST's Time Domain technology will now gain a significant advantage through hardware acceleration" commented Dr. Bernhard Wagner, Managing Director, Sales & Marketing, CST.

"Hardware acceleration is the differentiator for CST's customers who want to develop and bring new products to market in record time. A product development schedule that may have taken a year or more can be reduced to months with our integrated acceleration technology. The positive financial impacts and ROI resulting from a faster time to market need no further explanation" states Chris Mason, Director of EM Product Management, Acceleware.

The acceleration board will operate from version 2006B of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and will be available to purchase from November 2006.
