ASPEED Triples Customer Growth in 2006.Sets New Standards for Driving Application Performance Across Advanced Hardware Systems NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of -- ASPEED Software, which optimizes application performance on high-end systems, today announced its most successful year to-date, with 300 percent growth in customer deployments and revenue. Customers across computationally intensive industries are increasingly exploiting ACCELERANT ac·cel·er·ant n. Accelerator. , ASPEED's performance-driving software, which now supports the most advanced architectures, including the IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) [R] Blue Gene[R] system and several Intel multi-core processors. Demand is especially high in the financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

These organizations consistently reduce application run times by more than 80 percent, development times by 90 percent and improve overall capacity for the most sensitive business practices - from securities pricing and portfolio balancing, to drug modeling and protein synthesis Protein synthesis is the creation of proteins using DNA and RNA. Biological and artificial methods for creation of proteins differ significantly.
Highlights for 2006 include: * Setting new high-performance computing High-speed computing, which typically refers to supercomputers used in scientific research. benchmarks for speed and analysis on the IBM Blue Gene, Intel Clovertown quad-core processor and dual-core Woodcrest processor for the AMBook (American Options Portfolio) application, used by almost every company on Wall Street. * Expanding support for 10 development languages, and market-specific tools, which power the most advanced applications: Linux, C#, Java, FORTRAN, C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++, EXCEL/VBA, Intel compilers, NONMEM, MG Alpha and MOSES Moses (mō`zĭs), Hebrew lawgiver, probably b. Egypt. The prototype of the prophets, he led his people in the 13th cent. B.C. out of bondage in Egypt to the edge of Canaan. . * Multiple marquee customer deployments. Solutions are now in place at three of the world's top 10 investment banks, two top-20 global pharmaceutical companies and multiple financial services providers. Optimizing IT Investments ASPEED's customers are transforming their IT investment strategy, by zeroing in on application performance and maximizing existing resources. As a result, they avoid the need to constantly invest in new hardware. ACCELLERANT is the only technology that lets applications fully leverage grid, cluster, multi-core, multi-CPU and other HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. environments - while keeping the underlying software intact. Driving performance without altering the code ensures the integrity of the core application. It also protects critical proprietary algorithms that drive business decisions, which typically represent tens of millions of dollars in programming resources. "New processor developments like Blue Gene change the game by making parallel processing a must-have for any decision-driven business that expects to remain competitive," said Kurt Ziegler, evp of development for ASPEED. "Companies need flexible, scalable tools that exploit this new capability - immediately - while preserving their core software investments." ASPEED also: * Expanded into Europe and Asia, with new deployments and partners, including Net2S, FIFTHWAVE Solutions and ViewPoint Software * Deepened its vertical strategy with key partners, including Towers Perrin and Milliman for insurance, Algorithmics for financial services and IKON/Globomax and Pharsight for pharmaceutical solutions * Received expanding recognition, presenting at top industry events, including GridWorld, High Performance on Wall Street, Intel Developers' Forum, RiskUSA and the Quant Quant A person with numerical and computer skills who carries out quantitative analyses of companies. quant A person who has strong skills in mathematics, engineering, or computer science, and who applies those skills to the securities Congress About ASPEED Software ASPEED Software Corporation is a privately held, venture-funded software company based in the heart of New York City New York City: see New York, city. New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. with development centers in New York and London. ASPEED's value proposition is to enable clients with computationally intensive applications to significantly reduce response times and improve precision. ASPEED's ACCELLERANT software enables its users to quickly adapt their existing applications to use less expensive and newer hardware technologies in multi-processor, cluster and grid configurations. ACCELLERANT's algorithm-aware API enables the distribution of applications thought by many as "undistributable," improving competitiveness, productivity and accuracy of the analysis and to participate in company cluster and grid activity.
