MultiCore Optimizer software to be integrated with UniCluster software to create enhanced product offering
MONTREAL, Nov. 4 -- eXludus Technologies, the leading developer of multicore system capacity management, virtualization and provisioning solutions, today announced a technology agreement with Univa UD, the leading provider of high-performance computing systems management and datacenter automation software.
Through this agreement, MultiCore Optimizer software functionalities will be integrated with UniCluster software to create an enhanced product offering. UniCluster, which simplifies the deployment, configuration and management of clusters, will offer added capability to optimize utilization of multicore systems.
Multicore systems provide tremendous parallel processing capacity, but most applications are serial designs incapable of fully leveraging this potential. eXludus' MultiCore Optimizer software eliminates this obstacle by parallelizing throughput across processing cores -- without requiring changes to the underlying serial applications.
"MultiCore Optimizer software has been designed to enable existing, unchanged applications to fully leverage the aggregate processing capacity of all system cores," said Dale Geldart, COO of eXludus Technologies. "We are very pleased to team up with industry leader Univa UD. By coupling MultiCore Optimizer and Univa UD's UniCluster, our combined customers will see better overall cluster performance, increased ROI on their computing infrastructure and, most importantly, faster results," Mr. Geldart added.
"Our UniCluster suite allows customers in sectors including: electronic design automation, financial services and life sciences, to extract increased value from their investment in clusters," said Gary Tyreman, VP and general manager, HPC division at Univa UD. "Now, by combining UniCluster with eXludus' MultiCore Optimizer software, customers will also benefit from a superior ROI on server investments. The combined effect will make our customers more competitive in time-sensitive markets where faster results directly impact profitability," Mr. Tyreman concluded.
