EI INTRODUCES PARALLEL COMPUTING CLUSTER WITH HP

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 on HP’s LC Clusters for high performance computing. EI will showcase the new solution and enhancements to their current software in their booth #2019 at SC2003, November 17-21 in Phoenix, AZ. CxC is a development and execution utility enabling technical professionals to design and run parallel applications 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 or Fortran languages, by enabling them to develop programs on a Windows or Linux-based machine. 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 compute cluster supporting UNIX, Linux, or Windows and take advantage of parallel computing performance for fast results. CxC will now be available as an option on HP High Performance Compute Cluster LC series, a certified solution suite of industry-standard HP ProLiant servers running Linux delivered as orderable single SKU 16, 32, 64, or 128 Node cluster configurations. The availability of the easy-to-use CxC parallel programming tool for Linux and Microsoft environments broadens the market’s portfolio of parallel programming tools, where HP has a major presence. ”We’re pleased to partner with the leading high-performance computing vendor in bringing this innovative solution to a broader market," said Matt Oberdorfer, President and CEO of EI. "By offering EI software coupled with HP’s LC Clusters, supercomputing becomes affordable and easy for those who found systems too expensive or complex.” “HP’s LC Series Clusters provide customers with a factory integrated clustering solution, enabling customers to reduce cost of operations and improve their time to deployment,” said Bruce Toal, director of marketing, HP High Performance Technical Computing. “The combination of EI’s CxC on LC Series Clusters enables more users to easily exploit supercomputing resources.”
