Rogue Wave Software to Present Platform Migration Strategies at LinuxWorld.

BOULDER, Colo. -- Presentation from Intel Corporation's Theater Will Offer Solutions to Portability Challenges

Rogue Wave Software, a division of Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq:QVDXE) providing reusable software components and services that facilitate application development, today announced that Ravi Inampudi, lead software support engineer for Rogue Wave Software, will be a guest speaker at Intel Corporation's booth at LinuxWorld. LinuxWorld will be held from August 2-5, 2004 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Inampudi's presentation will take place on August 4, 2004 at 11:45 am in Intel's in-booth theater.

In his presentation, Inampudi will discuss ten of the most common portability challenges encountered in migrating C++ applications to and from various platforms, such as Linux or Windows-based systems. The presentation will include an overview of these challenges, including potential complications in threading and internationalization. Attendees of the session will learn programming techniques and practices that, when coupled with Rogue Wave(R) and Intel software development tools, can help to make platform transitions easier.

"There are many challenges facing programmers looking to convert, for example, from Unix to Linux, that can be overcome with the right tools," said Ravi Inampudi, senior software engineer, Rogue Wave Software. "I look forward to sharing techniques that can help technologists, using software that enables consistent behavior of components such as libraries and databases across different platforms, overcome these challenges."

Inampudi is a lead engineer working in support of the Rogue Wave(R) SourcePro(R) C++ Suite of products. In addition, he is responsible for working with several large customer accounts with regard to their use of Rogue Wave software.

"Intel sees great opportunities in the broad high-end migration from proprietary UNIX/RISC to Linux/IA platforms," said Jonathan Khazam, general manager of Intel Software Development Products. "Intel's high-performance software development tools, including compilers, performance analyzers, libraries, and threading tools, complement Rogue Wave Software's popular SourcePro(R) products in aiding this migration."

Rogue Wave SourcePro C++ offers a comprehensive set of C++ components designed to work seamlessly across supported platforms, including Windows, Linux and a variety of proprietary UNIX operating systems. The SourcePro C++ Suite removes differences between operating systems, compilers and databases, making it easier to migrate applications from one platform to another as organizational needs change. The SourcePro C++ Suite supports both the Intel(R) C++ Compiler and the GNU compiler on Linux.

The Intel C++ Compiler delivers a host of advanced compiler optimization features, typically found on proprietary UNIX compilers, such as inter-procedural optimization and automatic parallelization. These features help the Intel C++ Compiler speed UNIX to Linux migration as compared to migration with GNU C and C++ compilers. By offering significant source and binary compatibility with the GNU C and C++ compilers, Intel gives companies the flexibility to use the Intel C++ Compiler on the pieces of their application where performance is most critical. The Intel C++ Compiler for Linux complies with the ANSI C and C++ standards.

"While migration portability challenges are common, they should not prevent organizations from moving between platforms when and if their business needs dictate," commented Cory Isaacson, president of Rogue Wave Software. "We are proud to be able to provide our users with products that work seamlessly across various platforms and operating systems, allowing them to migrate from platform to platform to create the IT infrastructure that meets their organizational needs."

Also at the LinuxWorld event, Rogue Wave Software and Intel will demonstrate an application that uses SourcePro(R) Core and SourcePro(R) Analysis, deployed on an Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processor-based system, to track the movement of GPS satellites over the San Francisco area. The demonstration, which uses both the Intel C++ Compiler and the GNU C/C++ compiler to create executables, and then measures the performance of each version at run-time, will illustrate the meaningful performance benefits of using the Intel compiler and the portability possibilities of using Rogue Wave(R) software. Representatives from Rogue Wave Software will join the Intel team in their booth (#1457) for the duration of LinuxWorld and will run demonstrations periodically throughout each day of the show.
