CAPS has announced a new reseller partnership with Exxact Corporation, a leading distributor of ATI FirePro and NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics and a manufacturer of NVIDIA Tesla-based GPU Computing Solutions.

After the recent opening of its American subsidiary in Santa Clara, CAPS pursues its deployment in the US with a new strategic alliance with Exxact Corporation dedicated to the promotion of its flagship product HMPP™ (Heterogeneous Multicore Parallel Programming) in North America.

CAPS, well known for its manycore programming solutions, provides end users with a breakthrough technology enabling them to port legacy applications onto hybrid systems - computer systems mixing CPUs & GPUs - in record time. HMPP™, its directive-based compiler, offers an incremental programming model to rapidly build GPU accelerated applications. It enables application developers to reduce the development time required for accelerating legacy code by taking advantage of the massively parallel GPU architecture.

Exxact Corporation (Fremont, CA) is a growing player in the area of GPU computing and provides innovatively designed and expertly engineered high performance computing platforms that include workstations, servers, clusters, storage, and personal supercomputing solutions.  The Company extends its offering with the distribution of HMPP and related services.

“This agreement gives us the opportunity to broaden our GPU computing offering” declares Jason Chen, Exxact Corporation Vice president. “Not only can we provide robust GPU computing platforms, but with CAPS, we can also provide the means to take advantage of those technologies.”

“This combination of Exxact GPU Computing Solutions and HMPP will enable developers to take full advantage of hardware accelerators in their native code for a fine tuned performance optimization. This collaboration will ensure Exxact customers to enjoy the best GPU computing experience possible.”, comments Denis Gerrer, CAPS VP Americas, “ We are delighted to establish such a strategic alliance and are confident that it will stimulate US demand for GPU computing solutions”.
