CoSORT Announces v7 Support for Linux, Solaris 7.MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 1999-- Innovative Routines International (IRI Iri (ē`rē`), former city, North Jeolla (Cholla) prov., SW South Korea. An agricultural center and transportation hub, it was absorbed into Iksan. ), Inc. (The CoSORT Company) today announced the availability of its flagship CoSORT 7 release for Linux and Solaris 2.7, for both SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill and Intel platforms. CoSORT enables developers and end users on these platforms to fully exploit inherent parallel processing, large file I/O, and internet-related data webhousing capabilities. These ports were done subsequent to CoSORT 7's primary support for: AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) IBM's Unix-based operating system which runs on its Intellistation workstations and pSeries, p5, iSeries and i5 server families. 4.1.4-4.3.3, HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. 9.04-11.0, Solaris 2.5-2.6, Digital Unix/Compaq Tru64 Unix 4.0, Data General 5.4, Windows NT 4.0, NCR (NCR Corporation, Dayton, OH, www.ncr.com) A technology company specializing in financial terminal transactions, retail systems and data warehousing. Until the late 1990s, NCR was heavily invested in the hardware side of the industry, known worldwide as a major manufacturer of computers MP-RAS 3, Reliant Unix (Sinix) 5.4, SCO Unix 5, UnixWare 2-7, and Windows 95/98. "As the world's first commercial sort developer for Unix, IRI continues its tradition of leading-edge platform support," observed IRI Business Development VP David Friedland. "CoSORT 7 creates sort-related development opportunities for Linux application programmers and fully scalable sort and join performance for Solaris database loads and data warehouse staging, respectively." CoSORT 7 is fully interoperable across all Unix and NT platforms, with utility script and API interfaces cross-executable, and even remotely launchable via a unique JAVA GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. . The CoSORT coroutine engine provides the world's fastest parallel and multithreaded sort performance on SMP Unix and Windows NT server platforms. CoSORT is used by mainframe COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language. High-level computer programming language, one of the first widely used languages and for many years the most popular language in the business community. and sort users migrating to open systems, as well as database administrators and data warehouse architects requiring pre-load join, select, convert, aggregate, sort, merge, de-dup, and reformat functionality. CoSORT 7 also provides drop-in replacements for Solaris and Linux (Unix) sort, NT sort, Micro Focus COBOL and other third party sorts and its sort control language features parm conversion tools for processing COBOL, CSV, web log (CLF/ELF) and JCL metadata or sort parms. CoSORT is licensed once for perpetual use at hardware-based price points. On-line documentation systems and worldwide technical support are included.
