Announcing gridMathematica 2--A Major Enhancement to the Gold
Standard Software Environment for Supercomputing
November 9, 2004--Wolfram Research introduces Version 2 of its widely
used gridMathematica software at the Supercomputing 2004
conference in Pittsburgh this week. gridMathematica is now
optimized for virtually all Top 500 supercomputers, heterogeneous
grids, and personal workstations. With gridMathematica,
scientists and engineers can easily develop parallel applications
using the uniquely productive and interactive Mathematica environment and
deploy them seamlessly on any supercomputer.
Features of gridMathematica 2 include significant scheduling and
performance enhancements, automatic parallelization of wider classes of
computations, programmable scheduling for problem-specific tuning, support
for speculative parallelism, improved failure recovery and user
configurability, universal database connectivity, web services support,
high-speed binary I/O, industrial-strength string manipulation, and full
optimization for all 64-bit architectures.
Building on the rich Mathematica foundation, gridMathematica
is perfectly suited for numerical supercomputing applications as well as
parallel processing of complex non-numeric data such as images, 2D and 3D
vector graphics, geospatial information, genomic sequences, algebraic
formulas, logical and program constructs, and general symbolic data.
Since its introduction in 2002, gridMathematica has been
successfully deployed by many major corporations, government
organizations, and universities, including Aerospace Corp, Argonne
National Laboratory, Columbia University, Dow Chemical, Istituto
Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Kyoto University, Los Alamos National
Laboratory, MIT, NASA Langley, Queen's University, RAND Corporation,
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Seagate Technology, Silicon
Graphics, Space Telescope Science Institute, Thomson Multimedia,
University of California at Berkeley, University of North Carolina,
University of Tokyo, Yale University, and many more.
At Supercomputing 2004, Wolfram Research is partnering with Apple, HP,
Intel, Microsoft, and Orion Multisystems to showcase
gridMathematica 2 on a variety of high-performance systems. In
addition, a free introductory training
class on gridMathematica is being offered by the Wolfram Education
Group.
More information about gridMathematica 2 is available.
