Summary

HyperTune for Unigraphics (HTfUG) is a powerful, HP-exclusive utility that configures UG for optimum graphics performance. There is a patent pending. If you use the full tuning features of HTfUG (by pressing buttons named HyperTune or SmartTune) it will compute the best setting and if it can improve the performance it will report the percentage of that improvement after applying it. It's designed for enterprise tuning for UG on HP's Personal Workstations. Performance gains vary however some configurations have shown improvements beyond 20%. It has a rich set of tools to cater to the user needs. It allows for propagation of performance across all your HP workstations with like configuration. It also has the ability to return to default settings.

Installation

HTfUG should be copied to a local hard drive. If you're installing HTfUG from a CD, you must first copy it to its own folder on a hard drive. If you're downloading HyperTune directly or as part of HP Framework then simply select a folder when prompted. Ensure you have write access to that folder before running HyperTune.

Supported Configurations

HTfUG can only operate on HP personal workstations and laptops. Check Unigraphics' support site for what HP systems and graphics boards are supported. Currently, only 32 bit systems are supported. (Also see Graphics Board Field under the Usage Section for graphics boards.) For instance, HTfUG works well with HP XW8000 with nVidia Quadro4 380 and its certified graphics drivers.

Usage Overview

HTfUG works to only improve graphics performance of Unigraphics. There are a number of different ways to run HTfUG. The easiest and most basic way is QuickTune. On the other hand, HTfUG's full tuner modes (invoked by the HyperTune or SmartTune buttons) can be used with one of your own parts to tune the system specifically for your part and your target operations. HyperTune can take far longer to run. You are encouraged to use HTfUG's full tuner mode with your own part file for best results. See the following sections for details on all of HTfUG's features and how to use them.

Starting with version 4.1 of HTfUG one can run a limited subset of HTfUG's features from the command line. See the section Running HTfUG from Command Line.

NOTE: If you have more than one version of UG installed, it is very important that you select the UG version for which you are trying to optimize your system.

NOTE: Although HTfUG comes with a sample part, you should use your own part file or top assembly to run HTfUG's full tuner mode. The sample part supplied is there to simply demonstrate how to operate HTfUG.
