New version dramatically increases performance for non-dedicated distributed computing

LISLE, Ill., July 22 -- Univa UD, a pioneer in HPC systems management products for the complete distributed computing lifecycle, today announced general availability of Grid MP 5.6, the company's industry-leading product for non-dedicated distributed computing.

Grid MP 5.6 will add significant features to the product's existing HPC capabilities, including job pre-emption, significant performance improvements, and additional operating system and database support. New Grid MP 5.6 functionality also includes console enhancements, logging and diagnostics improvements, and maintenance upgrades.

Grid MP is the leading product for building distributed computing environments from non-dedicated resources and the dominant product of choice for companies in the life sciences field where performance and speed are imperative for data intensive computing. With the increased capacity made available by Grid MP, companies can increase both the speed and scope of HPC processing, tackling bigger computing jobs than they could before, to improve the precision and quality of work.

"With the enhancements in version 5.6, Grid MP continues to set the standard for non-dedicated distributed computing," says Gary Tyreman, vice president and general manager of Univa UD's HPC Division. "We've listened to our broad base of users and have added the capabilities they need to drive greater efficiencies in HPC."

The new features in the 5.6 version improve system performance and ensure that high priority work is done first, so companies achieve faster time to results for business-critical processing. These include reduced command dispatch time for results retrieval, prioritized scheduling of jobs to more powerful machines and improved performance of large-scale operations such as object deletion. The new enhancements and functionality in Grid MP 5.6 enable users to manage the overall HPC lifecycle and achieve measurable cost savings by leveraging their existing infrastructure.
