Key Advantages for Your Organization

gridMathematica provides an affordable, easy-to-use way to take full advantage of grid-computing hardware such as the multiprocessor machines and computing clusters that are now more accessible to many research groups, universities, and companies.

In addition to a price that is much lower than that of similar solutions, gridMathematica brings other unique advantages to your parallel technical-computing environment.

Computational Ability
gridMathematica gives immediate access to the world's leading collection of algorithms and mathematical knowledge. It offers all of the same features and programmatic capabilities as Mathematica, including thousands of functions covering areas such as numerical computation, symbolic computation, graphics, and general programming. gridMathematica takes advantage of new Mathematica 5.1 functionality such as industrial-strength string manipulation, built-in universal database connectivity, highly optimized binary data I/O, high-speed numerical linear algebra, 64-bit platform support, improved communication bandwidth, and reduced latency.

Ease of Development
gridMathematica introduces only a small number of new parallel computing constructs, and users familiar with Mathematica can transition to gridMathematica without difficulty. Furthermore, programs written in Mathematica can be easily modified to run on a grid. Even users who are new to Mathematica can use its high-level programming capabilities and thousands of built-in functions and just a few simple commands to solve grid-computing problems that used to require thousands of lines of code in C or Fortran.

Platform Independence
gridMathematica is platform independent and can be used on dedicated multiprocessor machines as well as on homogeneous and heterogeneous clusters. The only technical requirement, apart from the ability to run Mathematica, is a TCP/IP connection between the individual computing nodes. This connection allows customers to run the same code on any available machines without any porting work. It also makes it easy to build ad hoc clusters out of underutilized computers or to take advantage of low-use periods.

Special Pricing
gridMathematica provides powerful computing capabilities at a price that won't hurt your organization's pocketbook.
