UPPSALA, Sweden, Sept. 8 -- Acumem, a provider of intelligent software for single- and multicore environments, today announced that it has partnered with HiPERiSM, an expert consultancy and software reseller in the high performance segment, to resell its multicore optimization tools, initially SlowSpotter and SlowSpotter Pro, in the US.

HiPERiSM Consulting, LLC, is a High Performance Computing (HPC) consultancy dedicated to working with clients in facilitating the transition to the new era of desk-side parallel processing. The key offerings are training in HPC skills, consultation support/contract development, and by acting as sales representative for key developer software technologies, such as Acumem SlowSpotter.

"We are excited to be able to offer Acumem's multicore tools to our customers," said George Delic, CEO of HiPERiSM Consulting, LLC. "We are committed to deliver the world of high performance computing (HPC) to individual scientific and engineering programmers. Over the years we have seen the number and variety of HPC performance products change, but few have delivered on the promise of end-user productivity as do the SlowSpotter products -- without demanding prior performance expertise."

Acumem's technology enables owners of systems and applications to get the best performance from their system or application in both single- and multicore environments. The target customers of these tools are programmers who have expertise in optimization and also those who have no such expertise. Additional beneficiaries of the tools are capacity planners, development managers, performance evaluators, benchmarks teams, etc. Through the identification of SlowSpots, Acumem's tools help programmers to go directly to the parts of the code where improvement potential exists without any need to go through thousands of lines of code and vast amounts of data. Acumem SlowSpotter has proven to increase throughput in many applications by a factor of five, improving general scalability, saving processor cycles and decreasing power consumption.

Acumem SlowSpotter Pro is the expert version of Acumem SlowSpotter. It mainly targets programmers with expert knowledge in performance optimization and gives more options in data capture, allows for an unlimited number of threads to be analyzed, and also advises on more complex code changes than does Acumem SlowSpotter. Similarly to Acumem SlowSpotter, the Pro version gives hands-on advice based on analysis of cache and bandwidth related performance problems for single- and multicore systems.

"HiPERiSM has a diverse network of clients spanning government, corporate, and academic sites that benefit from technology transfer from the HPC market place," said Mats Hovmöller, CEO at Acumem. "Adding Acumem optimization solutions to the offering will enable HiPERiSM to bring value-added services to these clients while allowing Acumem to reach a wider spectrum of customers."
