Multicore is catching up at last
Developers are finding ways to overcome challenges in multi-threaded systems.
In the May print edition of the magazine, Rogue Wave Chief Scientist Dr. Erik Hagersten is interviewed in an article about development tools for multicore processing. The article discusses the fact that while multicore development is challenging, there are software development tools available today that can ease the burden. Part of the problem is the non-deterministic nature of bugs (see TotalView with ReplayEngine). It also mentions that part of what’s driving Enterprise IT’s adoption of parallelism is Big Data (see IMSL Numerical Libraries).

Python Snakes Its Way into HPC
Argonne National Lab's William Scullin talks about the status of Python in HPC, and mentions Rogue Wave's products.
“Rogue Wave has provided access to their mathematical libraries, IMSL, via PyIMSL. Furthermore, they have brought a number of people into the Python community via PyIMSL Studio which they market officially as a prototyping tool. I've encountered PyIMSL studio users so happy with their prototype Python applications with PyIMSL Studio, that they ran with the Python code as production code. I should also mention that while the TotalView debugger is not officially a Python tool, it's seen a lot of use by Python HPC users and it will be interesting to see where it goes since Rogue Wave's acquisition of Acumen.”

The Business of Disruptive Innovation
HPCWire editor Michael Feldman discusses Clayton Christensen’s theories of innovation and mentions: “His (Christensen’s) theories might also have predicted the recent rash of HPC software tool acquisitions of Cilk Arts, Interactive Supercomputing, RapidMind, TotalView Technologies, Visual Numerics, and Acumem. All of these tool companies had sustaining technologies of value to the larger buyers, in this case, Intel, Microsoft, and Rogue Wave Software.”

Watch out multicore: GPUs are right behind
“Since memory bandwidth is the biggest bottleneck, the company’s recent acquisition of Acumem makes sense…ThreadSpotter sniff out poor data locality, cache troubles and thread conflicts. Other tools include the TotalView scalable debugger for serial, parallel, multi-threaded, multi-process and remote applications; and IMSL Numerical Libraries, which are embeddable algorithms for complex problem-solving and predictive analytic applications in C, Fortran, Java and .NET.”
