POWERLLEL & EGENERA TEAM FOR HPC LINUX
GRID
Powerllel announced that it has joined the Egenera
Assured Solution Alliances
program, validating Powerllel software for the
Egenera BladeFrame environment
through rigorous testing in Egenera labs.
The companies have teamed to optimize the performance of computationally
intensive applications running on the Egenera system. Powerllel's application
service framework toolkit adapts sequentially coded applications to run in
distributed and parallel computing environments.
Together, Egenera and
Powerllel offer a compelling solution for organizations
seeking to lower costs
while improving time-to-results for pricing, hedging
and risk analysis in the
front, middle and back office.
"Egenera's impact in delivering a
mainframe-class platform at commodity price
points is an ideal complement to
Powerllel's success in lowering the costs
associated with high-performance
computing and optimizing application
performance. We are pleased to kick off
this partnership with Egenera at
LinuxWorld and anticipate working with a
number of Wall Street customers who
have already expressed interest in this
exciting joint solution," said Eliot
Listman, Powerllel's CEO.
"Powerllel delivers a winning value proposition to Wall Street firms by
enabling them to run computationally intensive applications more
cost-effectively at higher performance levels," noted Susan Davis, vice
president
of product marketing and management, Egenera.
"Likewise,
through integrated clustering and the price/performance of high-end
Intel®
processors, the BladeFrame provides an ideal platform for Wall Street's
wide
range of analytic applications. We are pleased to welcome Powerllel to
our
Assured Solution Alliances program and look forward to bringing the
benefits
of this combined solution to our mutual customers."
Powerllel's unique
technology dynamically splits an application at run-time to
provide
application load balancing for best time-to-results computing
performance.
Powerllel's Lobster (LOad Balancing Sub-Task ExecuteR) software
system
continually reassesses the application decomposition and mapping using
proprietary algorithms that optimize performance in run-time.
Other
methods of grid distributed processing pre-define application
decomposition,
eliminating the ability to adjust, on the fly, to changes in
computing
topology and performance, including available processors and I/O
characteristics. The Lobster system also provides application level fault
tolerant capabilities.
Without this technology, computations would
start from the beginning and
negatively impact critical business processes.
Powerllel's technology can be
used to eliminate the need for application
developers to implement parallel
processing tasks within the application,
greatly reducing application
development time. Powerllel Adapters are tailored
to the structure of an
application allowing an application to be integrated
with Lobster in a matter
of hours.
About Powerllel
Powerllel
is a leading provider of software solutions that optimize the
performance of
software applications. The Company's solution, based on dynamic
parallel
processing technologies, expands upon the efficiencies that are
created
through grid and grid distributed computing solutions that match
computing
demand with computing supply.
However, instead of simply allocating
workload to available computing
resources, Powerllel's software enables
enterprises to achieve supercomputing
power by dynamically parsing and
processing computations within applications
on several machines in real
time.
Based on a unique technology that overcomes the traditional
impediments to
parallel computing, Powerllel software provides organizations
with a solution
to increase their competitive advantage by running
applications many times
faster, the ability to run more robust and complex
applications, and an
increased ROI on existing infrastructure investments.
Powerllel is based in
New York City with an office in the UK.
