EI RELEASES NEW ENHANCED VERSION OF CxC® PARALLEL PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE AT SC2003

CxC Now Offers Improved Performance on High Performance Clusters and Support for Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Phoenix, AZ. (PRWEB) November 17, 2003 - Engineered Intelligence (EI), the technology leader in parallel programming solutions, today announced the release of the latest version of its CxC software for parallel computing at SC2003, the Supercomputing conference.

"This new version 2.5 of CxC shows excellent performance in industry standard LINPACK benchmarks," said Matt Oberdorfer, President and CEO of EI. "In testing our solution on the newest Itanium® platforms, weve seen significantly increased performance and excellent results due to improvements in the software and the cache-friendly nature of CxC. Using virtual parallel processors, CxC divides the problem up into smaller pieces that fit into cache and thereby achieves faster throughput."

Benchmark testing was done with the original double precision LINPACK code using 500 X 500 Matrix size on HP high performance systems with 1.5 Ghz Itanium dual processors, 6 MB cache and 12 GB RAM. Running CxCs virtual parallel computing benchmark on two processors, EI was able to achieve 250% of the standard LINPACK benchmark performance of a single Itanium processor configuration. This super-linear performance is attributed to the higher speed of the cache memory when using 10 virtual processors in CxC. EI also added new functionality for multi-dimensional arrays to CxC, based on customer demand.
