United Deviced unveils Grid MP platformAustin 28 April 2003 United Devices announced Grid MP 4.0, the company's newest grid technology platform. The Grid MP platform include a new paradigm in virtualization and control of resources, users, policies and applications within an enterprise - regardless of geographic or administrative boundaries. The new platform also supports MPI (Message Passing Interface).
These applications can be rapidly migrated and can typically be run 'as is' without any source code modifications. Another new feature is the ability to run Linux-based applications on Microsoft Windows platform, matching significant available compute power to applications used in high performance computing. "This next generation architecture raises the bar significantly for high-performance computing," said United Devices CEO Ed Hubbard. "We've listened to our customers and have delivered a platform that will take grid computing usability and functionality to the next level." Grid MP will be deployed to United Devices' existing customers, including the University of Texas' Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). "These new features are exactly what we are looking for to increase performance, expand our deployment, and migrate an even greater number of applications onto our internal grid," said Director of TACC, Jay Boisseau. "We have been anticipating Gid MP's new enhancements." Applications that will most benefit from these new platform enhancements include life science research simulations such as molecular modeling, geoscience applications such as reservoir simulation and seismic analysis, and many government simulations in the defense and intelligence arena.
