Latest Version of MathWorks Products for Distributed Computing Featured in Keynote Address by Microsoft’s Bill Gates
The MathWorks today announced it demonstrated a
strong leadership position at this year’s premier conference on high-performance computing, networking, and storage,
Supercomputing 2005 (SC|05). The event, which concludes this week in
“Advancements in high-performance technical computing tools are crucial to engineers
and scientists tasked with solving today’s toughest computing challenges,” said Kyril Faenov, director of high
performance computing at Microsoft Corp. “The Distributed Computing Toolbox 2 from The MathWorks, coupled with
Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, brings the power of high-performance computing to the departmental and workgroup
levels. As a result, the administration and management of clusters can be simplified for those groups who typically
had to rely on dedicated IT groups in the past.”
The strong presence of The MathWorks at SC|05 demonstrates
the Company’s commitment to providing engineers and scientists with distributed computing tools for technical computing.
In addition to announcing the release of the Distributed Computing Toolbox 2, Company representatives, including MathWorks
cofounder and creator of MATLAB®, Cleve Moler, shared their expertise throughout the event’s extensive technical
program by participating in tutorials, panels, and presentations at partner booths.
The
MathWorks participated in the following SC|05 technical programs and demonstrations:
- Loren Dean and Silvina Grad-Freilich of The MathWorksco-presented the tutorial, “Parallel and Distributed Computing with MATLAB,” with Jeremy Kepner and Albert Reuther of MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The tutorial used customer stories to illustrate some of the most popular technologies for writing
- Microsoft and Platform Computing featured demonstrations of the Distributed Computing Toolbox 2 in their booths.
- Orion and ClearSpeed partner booths both featured MathWorks tools, while partner Hewlett Packard demonstrated how MathWorks tools are integrated with the Enfuzion® scheduler from Axceleon.
- The Birds-of-a-Feather session, “2005 HP Challenge Award,” included a presentation by
- Cleve Moler was also a member of the panel “Return of HPC Survivor—Outwit, Outlast, Outcompute.” The panel was structured as a series of “rounds,” each posing a specific question about system design, philosophy, implementation, or use.
