RSI and Tech-X Corporation To Provide High-Performance Computing Solutions for IDL
RSI, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Industries, today announced it has signed an agreement with Tech-X Corporation of Boulder, Colorado, to offer Tech-X’s cluster computing solutions to IDL users in high performance computing environments. Tech-X’s FastDL products significantly decrease the time required to get answers to complex problems by allowing IDL users to quickly re-purpose multiple IDL applications to run in parallel on high-performance Linux clusters.
In addition to providing distribution and support resources for FastDL, RSI will work closely with Tech-X to continue development of FastDL.
FastDL offers two independent components that address the varying computational needs of parallel data analysis and visualisation applications, TaskDL and mpiDL. TaskDL is designed to be used in applications where parallel processing computations can occur independent of one another, such as movie frame rendering and Monte Carlo simulations. Using TaskDL, IDL applications can be re-purposed in minutes to run in parallel on a Linux cluster.
