Technology Partners


Technology partners are leading academic institutions, and software, hardware, or service providers who Visual Numerics works closely with to serve current demands and future initiatives for the high performance computing market.

Absoft Corporation

Absoft is a global provider of software development tools needed to solve today's complex computational problems. Absoft introduced the first commercial 32-bit Fortran compilers for Macintosh, Windows-NT, Linux and High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, and leads the industry with the recently announced HPC Software Developers' Kit.

The Absoft-Visual Numerics partnership focuses on high-performance numerical analysis libraries combined with Absoft compiler technology. Absoft is currently offering the IMSL™ Fortran Numerical Library 5.0 as part of a bundle with its Pro Fortran compilers for Windows and Mac OS X. This partnership allows Fortran application developers to take advantage of robust mathematical and statistical algorithms optimized for Absoft's compiler technology to build high-performance applications on Microsoft Windows-based systems and Mac OS X-based systems.

 

ASPEED Software

ASPEED Software offers the industry's leading solution for quickly accelerating applications and ensuring ongoing dynamic optimization and scalability to exploit the underlying grid, cluster, multi-CPU, and multi-core configurations. ASPEED and Visual Numerics have a strategic alliance to work as business and technology partners.

 

ClearSpeed Technology

ClearSpeed Technology is a semiconductor company that develops massively parallel coprocessors and accelerator boards delivering unmatched performance per watt for high performance computing applications on industry standard systems. ClearSpeed has offices in San Jose, California and Bristol, UK and has over 50 patents granted with additional pending.

The ClearSpeed and Visual Numerics partnership focuses on offering developers the latest IMSL Numerical Libraries accelerated by the ClearSpeed Technology’s ClearSpeed Advance X620 and ClearSpeed Advance e620 accelerator boards. The ClearSpeed accelerator boards are designed for use in server and workstation systems based on 32 bit and 64 bit x86 compatible architectures. They deliver more than 66 GFLOPS of sustained double precision matrix multiply (DGEMM) performance while averaging only 25 watts power consumption.

 

Cornell Theory Center (CTC)

CTC is a high-performance computing and interdisciplinary research center located on the Ithaca campus of Cornell University. Scientific and engineering projects supported by CTC represent a vast variety of disciplines.

By joining Visual Numerics' world-class IMSL Numerical Libraries with CTC's high-performance computing research-based services, Visual Numerics and CTC will address real-world computing problems in a number of disciplines, including behavioral and social sciences, medical sciences, engineering, computer science and mathematics, and a wide range of business applications.

 

Digipede Technologies

The Digipede Network is a distributed computing solution that delivers dramatically improved performance for real-world business and scientific applications. Built entirely on the .NET platform, it is radically easier buy, install, learn, and use than other grid computing solutions. The Digipede Network features patent-pending technology to provide automatic CPU load-balancing and guaranteed quality of service, making it an ideal solution for scaling web services or any SOA.

The Digipede-Visual Numerics partnership focuses on bringing the power of grid computing to developers using the IMSL C# Numerical Library. Using the Digipede Framework and the IMSL C# Numerical Library together, .NET developers can build scalable, high-performance, distributed applications in the familiar Visual Studio environment.

 

Intel

As the world's largest chip maker, and a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products, Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards, systems, and software building blocks that are the "ingredients" of computers, servers and networking and communications products.

The Intel-Visual Numerics partnership focuses on offering Windows Fortran developers the latest IMSL™ Fortran Library coupled with the latest Intel Windows Fortran compiler. Intel© is currently offering the IMSL Fortran Library 5.0 as part of its Intel Visual Fortran Compiler, Professional Edition, for Windows. Intel's compiler technology coupled with Visual Numerics' advanced mathematical and statistical algorithms deliver an outstanding combination of development capabilities for Fortran programmers in industry, academia and research.

 

PDE2D

PDE2D solves quite general nonlinear, time-dependent, steady-state and eigenvalue systems of partial differential equations, in 1D intervals, general 2D regions and a wide range of simple 3D regions.

PDE2D features an interactive user interface, which makes it exceptionally easy to use, and extensive graphical output capabilities. A Galerkin finite element method, with isoparametric triangular elements of up to 4th degree, is used for the 2D problem, and a collocation finite element method, with cubic Hermite basis functions, is used for 3D problems. For 1D and 2D problems, both Galerkin and collocation algorithms are available. Adaptive refinement and grading of the triangular mesh are available for 2D problems.

 

The Portland Group

The Portland Group (PGI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics, is the premier supplier of high-performance Fortran, C, and C++ compilers and tools for multi-core x64 and x86 processor-based workstations, servers, and clusters. PGI products support Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

The Portland Group and Visual Numerics have teamed to offer a version of the high-performance IMSL Fortran Numerical Library for Windows compatible with PGI compilers. Now Fortran application developers can leverage the robust mathematical and statistical algorithms of the IMSL Fortran Library with the code optimization capabilities of PGI compilers to build high-performance applications on Microsoft Windows-based systems. Licensing information is available online.

PGI offers single-user 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the IMSL Fortran Numerical Library 6.0 for Windows, Windows Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA), and a 32-bit version for Windows Services for UNIX (SFU). Multi-user versions are available from Visual Numerics.
