Parabon, SRA International to Demo Grid Technologies
RESTON, Va., Nov. 25 -- Parabon Computation, a veteran provider of extreme-scale grid computing solutions, announced today its plans for a joint exhibition with SRA International Inc., a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients. SRA and Parabon will be at booth 4215 at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), on December 1-4, 2008 in Orlando, Florida.
Every year I/ITSEC features some of the most innovative companies and technologies in the modeling, simulation and training industry. This year Parabon will provide live demos of its Frontier Grid Platform, which enables any model or simulation to be simultaneously executed across thousands of enterprise computers, performing calculations in minutes that would otherwise take months or years on a single computer. Moreover, Parabon will demonstrate the Origin Evolutionary SDK, which allows deep optimizations to be performed atop an existing model or simulation -- leapfrogging traditional "What if?" analysis and permitting users to answer "What's best?" SRA will showcase its leading modeling and simulation services, and demonstrate solutions for the intelligence community, defense immersive training, situation awareness, nation building, and global health. For more information about SRA, please visit www.sra.com.
The conference will feature 575 exhibitions that fill nearly 200,000 square feet at the Orange County Convention Center. Approximately 20,000 attendees are expected at this year's conference that are looking to discover the best of today's modern training equipment and simulation technologies for the federal government. More information about the event is available at www.iitsec.org.
"SRA and Parabon have complementary technologies, and we are pleased to showcase our extreme-scale grid computing solutions alongside their advanced applications," stated Dr. Steven Armentrout, Parabon President and CEO.

Parallel Computing Without Parallel Programming
Jul 10 | | Engineers, scientists, and other domain experts depend on the productivity enabled by very high-level language (VHLL) tools like MATLAB® and Python. However, as datasets grow larger and programs get more sophisticated, ordinary desktop computers can no longer keep up. The paper explores how to run VHLL programs on high-performance platforms without low-level reprogramming. Work with large datasets and complex algorithms without sacrificing ease of use or reducing productivity.
