NAG and HPCVL Partnership

Major advance for High Performance Computing based research

SuperComputing 2002, Baltimore, USA – November 16 – the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG), the world’s leading provider of mathematical and statistical algorithms, and The High Performance Computing Virtual Laboratory (HPCVL) announce a partnership that will bring the NAG Parallel Library and the NAG SMP Library, and other NAG numerical and statistical software, to Canadian research projects in bioinformatics, computer-aided molecular design, econometrics, computational fluid dynamics, drug discovery, photonics and other disciplines. The addition of NAG software to HPCVL, one of the premier supercomputing centers in North America, is expected to help HPCVL-affiliated researchers accelerate their development of applications for solving complex problems.

HPCVL Executive Director Ken Edgecombe explains, "NAG has a worldwide reputation for the excellence of its numerical and statistical libraries throughout industry, universities, and research institutes. NAG's SMP and Parallel libraries and other NAG software being offered to HPCVL affiliates through this partnership will save valuable time and money in a wide range of research endeavors."
