gridMathematica

Get immediate access to cutting-edge technologies and the full power of modern grid-computing systems. Make the most of Mathematica, the world’s leading collection of algorithms and mathematical knowledge. The Apple Workgroup Cluster teams with gridMathematica to burn through Mathematica-based computations — seamlessly distributing them across a cluster of Xserve systems.

Technical Tool of Choice

Mathematica is the tool of science and technology leaders at Fortune 500 companies, national research labs, and top universities. Covering such areas as numerical computation, symbolic computation, graphics, and general programming, it has defined technical computing for a decade and a half — and has contributed to numerous scientific breakthroughs. Now gridMathematica 2 delivers an optimized parallel Mathematica environment for modern multiprocessor machines, clusters, grids, and computational clusters.

64-Bit Computing Power

Like Mathematica, gridMathematica has been optimized for the Xserve and Mac OS X. Making the most of the 64-bit capabilities of the Intel processor, it can allocate vast amounts of memory — enabling users to perform calculations on extremely large data sets in physical memory, far beyond the 4GB limit of 32-bit operating systems and applications. With a 16-node Apple Workgroup Cluster running gridMathematica, you could easily manipulate almost 256GB of data in physical memory. This drastically accelerates your computations, since working with data in RAM is a million times faster than working with the same data on disk.

Platform-independent

gridMathematica is platform-independent by design, so users on any platform — Linux, Windows or Mac — can simultaneously and seamlessly access an Apple Workgroup Cluster running gridMathematica. This means you can make the power of the processor available to everyone in your organization, regardless of their desktop operating system.
