ASPEED Software will demo its ACCELLERANT 3.3 in the HP booth at the high-performance computing industry's premier event - SC05 - this week in Seattle. ACCELLERANT 3.3 is the first solution that enables high-performance computing applications to quickly exploit new multi-core, grid and cluster-based platforms - without re-engineering or reworking the underlying algorithms or logic that drive key business decisions. It provides ongoing real-time dynamic optimization to speed the time to decisions - without compromising the integrity of the application. ASPEED is being adopted by application owners in banking, finance, pharmaceuticals and energy in their efforts to reduce both run times and the cost of faster response. Its customers have time-critical applications that need to run more frequently and include many more variables; achieving the desired responsiveness often forces them to re-write or re-engineer these applications for distribution, diverting their focus and putting significant pressure on their staffing budget. ASPEED is an HP Partner providing HPC software development and run-time software. Attendees can experience the demo in HP's booth at the following dates and times: -- Mon., Nov. 14 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. PT -- Tues., Nov. 15 2 p.m. - 6 p.m. PT -- Wed., Nov. 16 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. PT -- Thurs., Nov. 17 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. PT "Until now, the focus on performance has centered around faster and cheaper hardware and networks, but organizations are quickly learning that an application-centric approach has higher potential for improving performance at a significantly better cost," said Kurt Ziegler, executive vice president of development for ASPEED. "That's where ASPEED comes in - our ACCELLERANT software dynamically optimizes the way applications use resources to more effectively exploit existing and new hardware as well as cluster and grid fabric, giving them more responsive applications with full application integrity and significantly improved availability."
