SIMtone's patented technology focuses on transparent application parallelization:

• Masks the programmer from unneeded complexity.

• Preserves the existing application and application coding and flow.

• Avoids network and resource storms.

• Provides self-optimizing, predictable and optimum response time.

• Detects stalls and faults and provide dynamic corrective action.

Application developers can quickly code or annotate their existing code without having to focus on any of the mechanical aspects of parallelization or distribution.

The annotation essentially wraps and invokes the distributable function(s) without altering the conceptual logic flow or worrying about the actual distribution and parallelization or target configurations.

At run-time, the SIMtone ASPEED API and runtime distribution engine interact to provide real-time optimum iteration workload deployment and balancing to ensure optimum response time. This real-time balancing ensures optimum response time even with non-uniform iteration workload and heterogeneous systems.

SiMtone's ASPEED technology differs from grid implementations

• Unlike typical grid implementations accelerated applications

             - are not broken into independent schedulable components

             - retain the ability to intercommunicate while running

             - support dependent data relationships while running

             - adjust the individual iteration workload in real-time

             - are self-contained with no infrastructure server requirements

             - can be run on a desktop or server effectively exploiting CPUs/Cores

•  Accelerated Applications complement and enhances grids

             - rapidly enable applications to efficiently exploit grids/clusters

             - avoid the need to break up application in order to deploy on grid

             - parallelizes inner loops to further reduce elapsed time

             - automatically detects/recovers from stalls/failures

             - significantly reduces elapsed time

             - improves effective grid capacity over 30%
