EI Brings Supercomputing to the Power Mac G5; EI's Parallel Programming Software Combined with the World's Fastest Desktop Computer Delivers Powerful Scientific Solution.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Supercomputing 2003 PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2003 Engineered Intelligence (EI) introduced its new Parallel Programming Software offering at the Supercomputing 2003 conference. EI's CxC(R) parallel programming software allows scientists and engineers to easily create programs for Apple's Power Mac G5, the world's fastest personal computer. Parallel Scientific Computing computing - computer is a key focus for the Power Mac G5. Researchers at Virginia Tech University recently put together one of the fastest supercomputers in the world with 1,100 dual-processor Power Macs connected together. With the new Power Mac G5, scientists can execute high-precision math on extremely large 64-bit numbers and return results faster than ever. With EI's intuitive parallel programming software now available on Mac OS X, it's easy for them to develop and run complex scientific applications. CxC enables technical professionals to design and run parallel applications in high performance computing environments. CxC makes parallel computing Solving a problem with multiple computers or computers made up of multiple processors. It is an umbrella term for a variety of architectures, including symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), clusters of SMP systems, massively parallel processors (MPPs) and grid computing. available to scientists who only know their discipline and potentially C or Fortran languages, enabling them to develop and prototype complex scientific programs on desktop systems like the Power Mac G5. Once they get their code running, they can move the same code to use symmetric No difference in opposing modes. It typically refers to speed. For example, in symmetric operations, it takes the same time to compress and encrypt data as it does to decompress and decrypt it. Contrast with asymmetric. (mathematics) symmetric - 1. multi-processor (SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. ) machines or clusters supporting Mac OS X, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , Linux, or Windows and realize fast results. "EI's software enables scientists and engineers to solve highly complex problems with an intuitive programming language that creates a virtual parallel computer," explained Matt Oberdorfer, President and 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. of Engineered Intelligence. "Now with the Power Mac G5 scientists can easily model and simulate simulate - simulation larger and more complicated tasks on their personal computer -- with unsurpassed ability to prototype and test them." "The Power Mac G5 with its 64-bit processor delivers breakthrough performance making it a perfect fit for scientific computing," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "The combination of the world's fastest personal computer with its built-in capability for symmetric multi-processing and EI's CxC programming solutions for parallel computing gives scientists and engineers the power to develop and run complex scientific applications in record speed." Pricing and Availability CxC for Mac OS X is immediately available, with prices starting at $199 per single user license. The Power Mac G5 product line comes in three muscular configurations: 1.6GHz, 1.8GHz and a dual 2GHz model, with prices starting at $1,999.
