GUI Platforms and OS

  • Windows and Linux (32-bit and 64-bit)

 

Parallel Processing

  • 32-bit systems can only address 2 GBytes of RAM per process
  • 64-bit systems can address more than 2 GBytes of RAM per process and therefore have an advantage over 32-bit systems
  • Scalable to multiple processor servers or clusters with various interconnect technologies (e.g. Ethernet, Myrinet, Infiniband)

 

Network Features

  • Remote execution of solvers from GUI versions

 

Licencing

  • Three licensing and price categories: Silver, Gold and Platinum dependent on platform
  • CPU-based licencing enables parallel processing on multi-core CPUs without extra licence costs
  • Free evaluation licence
  • Educational licence options are available for academic institutions or the creators of teaching material
  • Classroom licences (256 MByte limitation) are available to academic institutions who purchase or rent full licences
  • FEKO LITE (limited, licenced, but FREE version of FEKO)
  • Floating licences are supported via single or redundant licence server configurations
  • Dongle licensing is supported for multiple installations of a single licence; note that dongle licensing is only supported for Windows and Linux on IA32, AMD64, EM64T and IA64 platforms
