Star-P Earns a Coveted HPCwire Award Third Year in a Row
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) AUSTIN, TX, November 17 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Interactive Supercomputing has once again been
recognized in the annual HPCwire Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards,
presented at the 2008 International Conference for High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC08), in Austin, Texas.
Interactive Supercomputing's Star-P product won the Readers' Choice Award
for Best HPC Software Product or Technology.
The prestigious HPCwire Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards are determined
through online polling of the global HPCwire audience, along with a
rigorous selection process involving HPCwire editors and industry
luminaries. The awards are an annual feature of the publication,
representing prestigious recognition from the HPC community and are
revealed each year to kick off the Supercomputing (SC) conference.
"This year's recognition is especially gratifying because it validates that
we are the platform of choice time and again for technical computing users
who need to work more productively and affordably with HPC systems," said
Bill Blake, President & CEO of Interactive Supercomputing. "We look forward
to the feedback HPCwire gathers each year and are always honored to be
among an elite group of HPC colleagues who share our vision to bring the
benefits of HPC to an increasingly broader community of analysts,
scientists and engineers."
Star-P delivers interactive parallel computing power to the desktop. It
enables faster prototyping and problem solving across a range of biomedical
-- as well as financial, scientific, and engineering -- applications.
Star-P eliminates the need to re-program applications to run on an HPC
server for parallel processing using complex languages such as C, FORTRAN
and MPI (message passing interface) which would otherwise require arcane
programming knowledge and months to complete.
"Every year, our readers determine which HPC-related companies, product and
technologies are making the biggest impact within the HPC community," said
Diane Lieberman, publisher of HPCwire. "The HPCwire Readers' and Editors'
Choice Awards send a strong message to the recipients that those in the
global HPC community recognize their work, and consider their efforts
meritorious. Our congratulations go out to Interactive Supercomputing and
the rest of the winners."
This is the third year in a row that Star-P has won an HPCwire award. In
2007 Star-P won the award for Best Price/Performance in the High
Performance Computing (HPC) Software category and in 2006 won the HPCwire
Editors' Choice Award for Most Significant New HPC Software Product.
