It manufactures aerospace vehicles, aircraft parts, optical instruments, and heat transfer equipment. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 4, 2003 CMTL CMTL Chief Military Training Leader CMTL Center for Mathematics, Teaching and Learning (Computer Memory Test Labs), the industry's leading independent motherboard/memory compatibility test lab today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with NASBA NASBA National Association of State Boards of Accountancy NASBA Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification (assay used to detect HIV viral load in blood plasma) -- The Association of System Builders The 9,400 plus system builder and solution provider NASBA members will now have direct access to test data and certification reports on CMTL's Web site (www.cmtlabs.com). CMTL will also be adding new information and capabilities to its Web site which will be available exclusively to NASBA members. Access to the CMTL Web site will provide NASBA members with the opportunity to enhance their system configurations by utilizing CMTL certified motherboards and memory modules. CMTL testing and certification ensures compatibility between many of the leading memory, processor, chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). and motherboard Also called the "system board," it is the main printed circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets that accept additional boards. In a desktop computer, the motherboard contains the CPU, chipset, PCI bus slots, AGP slot, memory sockets and controller circuits for the brands. "CMTL is extremely excited to be working with NASBA, the industry's premier system builder and solution provider service organization. We are pleased to see NASBA recognize the need for its members to have immediate access to important compatibility information. "The need is even greater when configuring systems for key accounts or server environments, which require high performance and reliability. Systems built and sold strictly on price, will not benefit from CMTL's testing or certifications," stated John Deters, president of CMTL. "In addition to the nearly 10,000 current NASBA system builders, there are many more thousands that need to be identified and educated about the benefits for joining NASBA and utilizing CMTL certified products." "NASBA is proud to partner with such a highly respected independent testing lab such as CMTL. Since memory architectures grow more complex and motherboard bus speeds continue to increase each year, certified compatibility and functionality is now a necessity for serious system builders and solution providers. "With the compatibility information now available to our members from CMTL, certified compatible products can be easily sourced and purchased, which in the past has been confusing and difficult," said Robert Danese, executive director of NASBA. "CMTL has compatibility testing Compatibility testing, part of software non-functional tests, is testing conducted on the application to evaluate the application's compatibility with the computing environment. programs with the largest motherboard, chipset, processor and memory manufacturers in the industry. CMTL can offer NASBA members an extensive knowledge base of compatible configurations only a few clicks away, which will be a tremendous benefit."
