PTC has announced Pro/ENGINEER 64-bit support for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition on the IBM IntelliStation A Pro with AMD Opteron processor. The 64-bit environment can drastically reduce the memory limitations of 32-bit operating systems that forced users to divide large datasets to conform to the memory restriction, allowing access to an unimaginable 18 billion GB of addressable memory, according to the company.

Pro/ENGINEER has displayed no limit to the size or complexity of the assemblies that it can handle, PTC says. The only limitation has been the maximum amount of memory that could be managed by 32-bit operating systems. PTC worked closely with IBM and AMD to develop a natively ported 64-bit version of Pro/ENGINEER for use on the IBM IntelliStation A Pro with AMD Opteron processor.

“AMD’s continued leadership in simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing is allowing more and more people to take advantage of software that can process more data and access a tremendous amount of memory,” said Pat Patla, director, server/workstation marketing, Microprocessor Business Unit, Computation Products Group, AMD. “The AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture, along with IBM and the growing AMD64 software ecosystem, provides a sound technology investment and competitive advantage for Pro/ENGINEER users.”

“The advent of 64-bit extension technology solves a really tough problem for our customers who develop large or complex products. Now they will be able to fully use the capabilities of Pro/ENGINEER for designing and managing large assemblies with excellent performance without increasing costs,” said Michael Campbell, vice president, product management, PTC. “PTC’s collaboration with IBM and AMD to deliver Pro/ENGINEER 64-bit support for this platform reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to providing value to our customers.”

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 64-bit is planned to be available concurrent with the availability of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition in late April.
