Rogue Wave to Present at ACM Chicago Meeting
Discussion Will Focus on Emerging Ways to Address High Performance Demands Highlighted Links: Rogue Wave Software, Inc., the leader in enterprise class C++ components and infrastructure, today announced that Patrick Leonard, its Vice President of Engineering and Product Strategy, will be presenting at the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Chicago meeting on Wednesday, June 11, at 6:30 PM at Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago. The presentation and discussion will be held in the Auditorium Building, Ganz Hall, 7th Floor, 430 S. Michigan Ave. Additional details can be found at its Web site. 
Leonard will host and drive the discussion about High Performance Computing (HPC) and complementary technologies. HPC is becoming very important to business, government, and academic fields today due to the fact that managing both ever-increasing amounts of data and complexity/speed of data analysis are requiring engineers to design high performance hardware and software. Leonard will discuss multi-core, concurrency, and GP-GPU technologies -- all emerging as ways to address the high performance demands facing organizations -- and offer potential solutions available using these technologies. "Significant improvement in parallel computing will be required to drive scalability for the next generation of business applications now that hardware performance comes in the form of additional 'cores' in each CPU," said Leonard. "However, parallel computing can be challenging to manage in the traditional programming environment since mainstream languages were never designed to run in parallel. Rather than a rip and replace or a complete re-write, by understanding the various approaches and programming tools available, IT departments should be able to determine a strategy that can easily be plugged into legacy applications. Using the right tools and strategy can generate results and improve performance far beyond what can be achieved by fine-tuning existing code."
