Engineered Intelligence (EI), the technology leader in parallel programming solutions, announced today that EI’s CxC (“C by C”) parallel computing software will be a featured option and is now available on the recently introduced Departmental Supercomputing Solution from IBM to enable workgroups, departments and smaller companies to more easily use clusters for high performance computing. The combination of EI’s software with the affordable and powerful IBM Departmental Supercomputing Solution brings the power of parallel computing to a broader research and development community. CxC is a development and execution utility enabling technical professionals to design and run parallel applications on their desktops and execute them in high performance computing environments., utilizing both 32 bit and 64 bit systems. CxC makes parallel computing available to scientists, researchers, and engineers who only know their discipline and potentially C, C++ or Fortran languages, by enabling them to develop programs on a Windows or Linux-based machine. They can create, prototype and test the code and once they get their code running, even on a laptop PC, they can move the same code to symmetric multi-processor (SMP) machines or to the departmental compute cluster running UNIX, Linux, or Windows and take advantage of parallel computing performance for fast results. IBM Departmental Supercomputing Solutions are comprehensive cluster packages offered in a variety of configurations to meet the needs of smaller organizations. Each cluster is comprised of servers devoted to running applications, a management server to administer cluster resources and a network interconnect to allow communication between the servers. Every system is packaged and tested as a cluster prior to shipping. EI’s CxC software provides a parallel execution run-time environment to deliver fast performance for CxC applications. ”We’re pleased to partner with the industry leader in high-performance computing to bring this innovative solution to a broader market," said Matt Oberdorfer, President and CEO of EI. "By offering EI software coupled with HP’s IBM’s Departmental Supercomputing Solutions, supercomputing becomes affordable and easy for those who found systems too expensive or complex.” “Our Departmental Supercomputing Solutions provide customers with prepackaged, pre-tested cluster configurations that deliver easy to manage high-performance compute power at an affordable price and improve their time to productivity,” said David Turek, Vice President, Deep Computing, IBM. “The combination of EI’s CxC on IBM Departmental Supercomputing Solutions enables more users to realize the benefits of parallel computing.”
