July 29, 2008--SEM 1.0.2 (Supercomputing Engine for
Mathematica) creates a standard way for each Mathematica kernel
in the cluster to communicate directly with every other kernel by
utilizing Message-Passing Interface (MPI) specification.
As a result of the collaboration between Advanced Cluster
Systems, LLC (ACS) and Dauger Research, Inc., SEM enables
Mathematica to be combined with Dauger Research>s Pooch (Parallel
OperatiOn and Control Heuristic application) clustering
technology.
By running gridMathematica with MPI technology, its power can be
integrated with Pooch>s ease of use and reliability in
high-performance computing. This new technology will further
enhance the power of both clusters and gridMathematica for SEM
users.
SEM works with gridMathematica and Mathematica Personal Grid
Edition to provide supercomputing capabilities to users in a wide
array of research and industry fields.
Key Features
* Offers ease of programming parallel algorithms
* Runs Mathematica symbolic manipulation across a cluster, as
cluster computing handles more than numerics
* Reduces execution time needed for gridMathematica algorithms
(up to 700% decrease in execution time when utilized on an 8-CPU node)
* Utilizes the maximum amount of resources in multi-CPU machines
* Performs symbolic manipulations across a cluster
* Employs a distributed memory model for using the RAM of the
entire cluster to run memory-consuming applications
SEM requires Mathematica 6 or higher with gridMathematica 2.2 or
Mathematica Personal Grid Edition 6, and is available for Mac OS
X 10.4.11 and up.
Current users of gridMathematica and Mathematica Personal Grid
Edition who love the Mathematica standard MathLink technology can
still enjoy peer-to-peer, parallel communication between kernels
as they always have.

SEM can be purchased at the Wolfram web store:

The Pouch developers have created a 6 (or thereabouts) part video demo
of this, which I would like to see.
It>s a shame they did not have the good sense to put the video in a
format that can be viewed on most computers. I could not view the video
on my laptop running Solaris, as whatever plugin my browser needs was
not available on Solaris. It might only be available on a Mac, but I>m
not 100% sure of that. I could not find a plugin for Solaris anyway.
But all was not lost...
I could view the last 2-3 parts of the demo though, as someone else had
converted them to a semi-sensible format (forget which) and stuck them
on u-tube. So I could view the end of the demo, but not the beginning by
using u-tube!
It struck me as rather odd that I could view part of it on u-tube ,but
none of it on the companies web site.
I>ve had a few beers tonight, so perhaps it>s best if you ignore what I
say, as I>m sure my views have been affected by my consumption of C2H5OH.
But we have a saying in England - a drunken man always tells the truth!

Oops, it is Pooch, not Pouch, just in case anyone tries looking for this.

Anyone care to put the first few parts of the demo on u-tube?? |
