APPLICATIONS

Visual Numerics, celebrating 35 years of producing leading numerical analysis and visualization software, today announced its participation at the annual SC|05 supercomputing conference in Seattle. This year, the company is co-chairing the SC|05 High Performance Computing (HPC) Analytics Committee, demonstrating its high performance computing-compatible IMSL and Java-based JMSL Libraries, and presenting two topics related to analytics and high performance computing. SC|05 HPC Analytics Committee As the first software vendor to develop analytical applications in Java for 64-bit platforms, Visual Numerics is on the forefront of development environments for grid computing, parallel computing and supercomputing. As a chair of the SC|05 HPC Analytics Committee, the company helped to introduce the inaugural HPC Analytics Challenge -- a brand new forum showcasing computational intensive applications that solve complex, real-world problems through the use of rigorous and sophisticated methods of data analysis and high-end visualization. For more information about the Challenge, which debuted this year, see its Web site. Visual Numerics Presentations at SC|05 Visual Numerics will demonstrate its high performance computing-compatible IMSL and Java-based JMSL Libraries in booth #2006, and discuss the application of these technologies in industries ranging from banking to education to scientific research. In addition, Visual Numerics is offering two data-intensive presentations at the conference: -- "High Performance Numerical Analysis in Computational Biology Using the IMSL Numerical Libraries" given by Fred Doolittle, IMSL Product Manager, on Tuesday, November 15 from 10:30-11:00 a.m. in Room 615-616. This presentation will provide examples of a variety of computational environments and solutions that have been developed in this field using the IMSL Numerical Libraries. -- "The IMSL and JMSL Libraries in Action" given by Tim Leite, Director of Educational Programs, on Wednesday, November 16 from 1:30-2:00 p.m. at the SC|05 Education Booth. Leite will demonstrate the IMSL and JMSL Libraries and will also discuss Visual Numerics' Education Programs (Student Licensing, Knowledge in Motion, etc...). "Our commitment to building advanced analytical development environments for supercomputing began more than 30 years ago," said Phil Fraher, president and CEO of Visual Numerics. "As high performance computing becomes more accessible to a wider range of companies, Visual Numerics will continue to provide numerical analysis solutions that are compatible with higher processing power. Our goal is to help students, scientists and researchers use the most up-to-date data analysis applications today to solve the problems of tomorrow."
