Update for Release
The software is available for Windows as well as for Linux OS and in both systems the optimisation can either be performed on CPU as well as on GPU (Nvidia Quadro). For the GPU optimisation a separate license is required.

The best performance is achieved on a Linux server with 3 GPU Quadro RTX6000 Cards. The difference of 1 minute There is no difference to the 2 GPUs probably lies within other processes on the systemcalculation with only 2 GPUs because the Jet Engine Bracket has 4 Load Cases which run on the GPUs. In general for 4 Events, 2 GPUs are very good so that 2 Events can be calculated simultaneously. Especially regarding multiple Events and higher Complexity values the graphics cards make sense in terms of performance which can be seen clearly in the performance comparison. Even the slowest GPU is still significantly faster than the best CPU in this test. In the CPU section it can be observed that the Xeon and the newer generation of i7 CPUs are the fastest. Particularly the last iterations on the highest resolution levels take more time on CPUs in comparison to GPUs. Regarding the CPUs, the generation as well as the speed of the CPU is of importance for the performance.
