STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April -- At GPU Systems headquarters 2012, the company released their latest version of the Libra Platform & SDK with enhanced support for developers to uniformly accelerate software applications across major operating systems, Windows, Mac and Linux. Libra Compute API for developers offers performance portability and direct compute access via standard programming environments C/C++, Java, C# and matlab to execute math operations on top of current and future compute architectures, including the latest GPUs, x86/x64 CPUs and with broad support for compute devices compatible with lowlevel specific APIs – OpenCL, CUDA, OpenGL and standard x86/x64 compute APIs.
– - With this release we show that using the very latest advanced compute technologies are available to develop software applications using standard programming languages & environments. It is now possible to create software to execute on a broad range of CPUs and GPUs and across major platforms without any intervention or modification to program code, says GPU Systems founder Marco Hjerpe.
Key Facts
* Unleash the Teraflop performance of CPUs and GPUs and future compute accelerators to execute across major operating systems Windows, Mac and Linux.
* Libra API direct compute access via standard programming languages, C/C++, Java, C# and matlab etc.
* Develop code once, deploy on numerous CPU and GPU devices.
* More performance with less code compared to hardware specific lowlevel APIs, easier to maintain applications & algorithms and faster time to market – no need to learn new tools or programming languages

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
