Petapath has experienced consultants who can deliver solutions using both multi-core and emerging heterogeneous technology.

Petapath can undertake analysis of a whole or specific portions of an application, advise on algorithmic approaches and their suitability for different platforms or undertake specific optimisations ranging from:

Consulting typically covers proof-of-concept through to prototype development but Petapath can also undertake longer term engagements and partnerships via contracting opportunities. Petapath values developing long term business relationships and is happy to leverage their extensive network of partners within the HPC and Embedded markets to make sure a project is a success.

The advent of multi-core and re-emergence co-processors and hardware accelerators has forced a profound change in the way software needs to be engineered. The problem for enterprise is how to maximize the exploitation of these trends without significantly increasing the complexity of the implementation, especially since hardware advances of the last decade have generally outpaced the necessary changes in software.

Our goal is to enable organisations take maximum advantage of their existing multi-core systems and software, while also preparing for the adoption of heterogeneous systems with the minimum of change to their existing codes.

The Petapath approach encompasses innovative development tools as well as a programming model that allows existing languages and software to use current hardware efficiently, and within the same framework support emerging heterogeneous platforms in an open and extensible way.

By providing support for both development and the deployment of software using the new programming model we can provide a number of significant advantages to the end-user.
