Massively Parallel Technologies Inc made public this week that it now supports a larger number of operating systems. The new operating systems to gain support are Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Microsoft Server 2003, Microsoft Server 2003 x64 and Mac OS X. Massively?s middleware creates a foundation for unprecedented scaling and performance of HPC applications where speedup in time-to-answers at a low cost is important. Massively`s line of products is target for almost every computer-oriented field that needs high-performance computing and supporting more operating systems was called for.

?Affordable, on-demand, supercomputing performance is something that can benefit everyone from the traditional HPC user to the general consumer. Whether the task at hand is to discover the next block-buster drug, deliver the fastest possible photo-realistic frame rendering, complete real-time biometric identification or take database search performance to an entirely new level, these types of applications contain compute- and cross-communication intense components that benefit from our patented middleware and parallelization techniques,? stated Massively?s CEO, Scott Smith.

In addition to supporting in-house deployment, Massively?s initial commercial offering is the BioTech Virtual Power Center. Users of Massively?s online accessible basic local alignment search tool can run large sequence similarity searches and experience massive speedup in time-to-answers without the costs and complexities of owning and managing their own compute cluster.
