Visual Numerics® Teams with the Leading Hong Kong University to Provide Staff and Students with Sophisticated Visual Data Analysis Capabilities
The University of Hong Kong Signs Campus License Agreement
for Use of PV-WAVE®
SAN RAMON, Calif. – September 27, 2005 – Visual Numerics, Inc.,
a leading provider of numerical analysis and visualization software, today
announced that it has partnered with the University of Hong Kong , a highly
regarded university in Hong Kong . As part of the agreement, Visual Numerics
will provide staff and students with access to the industry’s most comprehensive
visual data analysis tool, PV-WAVE. With PV-WAVE, students and professors will
be able to develop their own complex data visualization applications for scientific,
engineering and business analytics.
PV-WAVE allows users to rapidly import, manipulate,
analyze and visualize data of any size and complexity. Its sophisticated
set of analysis routines, which can be called from the IMSL® Numerical Libraries, gives users unmatched
numerical analysis capabilities. Visual Numerics’ tools will serve as
an extension of the University’s notable supercomputer investments and
high performance computing capabilities, and provide users with unlimited development
possibilities.
“The University of Hong Kong is working to shape the leaders and innovators
of tomorrow,” said Dr. Nam Ng, director of computer centre, University
of Hong Kong . “We are pleased to partner with Visual Numerics to provide
our students with the most sophisticated and advanced data and visual applications
available.”
Visual Numerics’ relationship with the University of Hong Kong dates
back 20 years when the university first invested in the company’s IMSL® C
Numerical Library and IMSL® Fortran Numerical Library. Recently, use
of Visual Numerics' IMSL® C# Numerical Library helped the University
of Hong Kong garner "The Best Web Services Applications for Smart Client" award
in Microsoft's Web Services Competition.
“The University of Hong Kong has been working steadily these past two
decades to invest in the most advanced technology infrastructure and software
available, “said Phil Fraher, president and CEO of Visual Numerics. “We
are pleased to be the University’s long-term technology partner and feel
good that we are providing its students with the best data analysis and visualization
tools on the market, and helping them set the pace for other universities in
China . ”
