Sinoparasoft  and Allinea Software announced the signature of a reseller agreement between the two companies for the promotion of Allinea’s parallel software development tools throughout China.

CAS is the premier postgraduate education and research institution in China. The HPC market in China is growing rapidly. China raised its profile in HPC recently by achieving the number one position in the industry’s Top500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. Allinea’s products are already in use on 35 of the top 100 systems worldwide. China has around 5 national supercomputing centres and 30 regional centres, as well as numerous commercial users in Oil & Gas, climate modelling, weather forecasting, aerospace engineering and bioinformatics. Sinoparasoft is a parallel software specialist providing consulting, training and development services as well as locally-developed software.

Professor Yao, a co-founder of Sinoparasoft and one of the faculty members of the CAS Parallel Software Lab was previously technical director of the Shanghai Supercomputing Centre. He and his co-founder, Prof. Yunquan Zhang, are two of the most influential and connected HPC people in the country. Commenting on the agreement, Professor Yao states:

“We are dedicated to providing service and consultancy to HPC users across China. Allinea DDT is a key component of the development toolset which we can offer the HPC user community. Together we can help them to solve many of the grand challenges which we face, for example helping in the efforts to curing cancer, mapping the human genome, simulating earthquakes and climate modelling, combating desertification and much more.”
