The Scilab Consortium, created with the ambition of making Scilab the open source reference in numerical computation, and the company HPC Project are pleased to announce that the latter is now a member of the Consortium. HPC Project brings to the Consortium its expertise and “Wild Systems” technology in optimizing the performance of compute-intensive applications. Depending on the application, HPC Project customers benefit from performance improvements ranging from 10 to 100x compared with a typical desktop implementation. In addition, HPC Project manages the Open Source Portal Par4all, a joint initiative with Mines Paris Tech, which brings to the market the result of more than 100 man*year development effort, providing a suite of tools for automatic code parallelization and optimization on multi- and many-core architectures. HPC Project uses Par4all as the workbench for optimizing applications. “HPC Project is pleased and excited to join the Scilab Consortium. We are looking forward in contributing to the development of the Scilab platform,” said Emmanuel Chiva, VP, business development and partnerships for HPC Project. “Leveraging our strong relationships with chipset manufacturers such as NVIDIA, we will apply our technology and expertise to develop new extensions and modules for Scilab.” “HPC Project membership to the Scilab Consortium marks another important step for Scilab in realizing our strategic development choices,” said Claude Gomez, Director of the Scilab Consortium. “Indeed, the future versions of Scilab will implement HPC functionalities and the Scilab Consortium is glad HPC Project, a dynamic actor of the domain, supports and brings its expertise to this objective.” First developments will target a GPU Computing version, as well as domain-specific toolboxes such as financial mathematics.
