Absoft Announces Enhanced Edition of the High Performance Computing Software Development Kit for 64-bit Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor-Based Servers and Clusters, Including Tools From Intel and Absoft.SEATTLE -- At today's Supercomputing 2005 conference, Absoft Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced software development tools, announced it is working with Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking on an Enhanced Edition of Absoft's newly released High Performance Computing Software Development Kit (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. SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ) for 64-bit Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor-based servers and clusters running Linux. The Enhanced Edition will begin shipping in December, 2005. Absoft announced general availability for the Basic Edition of the HPC SDK in June at the International Supercomputing Conference 2005 in Heidelberg. "We are gaining substantial traction with our increasingly comprehensive line of HPC SDKs, which have essentially the same look and feel across multiple platforms," said Absoft CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Wood Lotz, "but the Intel-based SDKs are leaping ahead both in market volume and in the range of powerful software tools included in the new Enhanced Editions for developing the highest performing computing codes on clusters, servers, and grids." The Absoft HPC SDK is a complete solution allowing software developers to easily compile, run, debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. , and optimize high performance software applications. The HPC SDK includes some of the industry's leading software tools optimized for 64-bit extensions and is preconfigured Set up ahead of time. It implies that the device or software application has been modified to suit the customer or situation. See ghosting server. for easy installation. It includes Fortran and 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 ++ compilers from both Intel and Absoft, debuggers, math libraries, pre-built message passing (MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface ) libraries, and other development tools. Also included is a comprehensive set of example HPC programs to help new users quickly learn how to take full advantage of the HPC SDK features. The HPC SDKs from Absoft are the only commercially available HPC SDKs that combine tools from multiple vendors to provide customers with true best-of-class solutions. With just three easy mouse clicks, customers can install and begin using the HPC SDK to take advantage of their existing hardware and software investments. Absoft Corporation is the single point of contact, simplifying all pre-sale, post-sale and technical support issues related to the HPC SDK. The HPC SDK Enhanced Edition includes all of the features of the increasingly popular HPC SDK Basic Edition for Intel Xeon processor-based systems along with additional tools from Intel, including: Intel(R) VTune(TM) Performance Analyzer to easily streamline code, and Intel(R) Thread Checker and Intel(R) Thread Profiler for OpenMP and POSIX threads debugging and bottleneck analysis. Also included are open source tools such as Marmot marmot, ground-living rodent of the genus Marmota, of the squirrel family, closely related to the ground squirrel, prairie dog, and chipmunk. Marmots are found in Eurasia and North America; the best-known North American marmot is the woodchuck, M. , an MPI thread checker. Future versions of the Enhanced Edition of the HPC SDK will include the FxP parallel MPI debugger from Absoft. "Absoft's decision to include our products, with our exceptionally strong support for threading, enables Absoft customers to develop applications today which best exploit the capabilities of current and future platform offerings," said James Reinders, Director of Marketing for the Software Products Division of Intel Corporation. The HPC SDK was developed for 64-bit Intel Xeon processor-based servers and clusters running Linux, such as 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) xSeries eServer(R) and the IBM eServer(R) Cluster 1350, IBM's leading-edge Linux cluster solutions. The HPC SDK is also available for systems such as the new IBM(R) Grid and Grow(TM) and the IBM(R) BladeCenter.
