This little known high speed computing company is positioned for growth

Acceleware (TSXV:AXE) is virtually one of a kind when it comes to the tremendous potential for growth. The company has faced many adversities over the last couple of years,  this due to the global crisis that we are just now starting to show signs of recovery from. AXE is in the technology sector and has a proprietary technology that is quite unique. They have proven they are capable of speeding up many computing needs by 100% to 200% with as high as 500% increase in computing speed.

Areas of Expertise

Successful HPC solutions by definition are the product of a number of technologies combined together to create an integrated, highly functioning single platform. Acceleware has deep experience that focuses on several key areas:

• Accelerating the ‘Hard’ Parallel Problems
  • Some applications are relatively easy to run in parallel. These embarrassingly parallel problems do not require particular expertise and are able to run simply by scheduling the jobs out to different processors. However problems that do not lend themselves to simplistic parallelization are faced with a crisis as the industry moves to a multi-core world. These ‘Hard” parallel problems are where Acceleware’s unique experience in designing successful solutions for algorithms and/or applications provide tremendous value to your project.
• Accelerating the ‘Whole’ Problem
  • Acceleration examples of 100x or 200x speed-ups are commonly publicized. However these examples generally only focus on a narrow part of the entire problem and do not take into account issues like compute intensive initialization, pre/post-processing or I/O bottlenecks. Acceleware provides acceleration value to the entire solution stack because what really matters is how long the entire problem takes to solve, not just one part of it!
• Programming Languages and 3rd Party Tool Experience
  • CUDA/OpenCL – Acceleware launched the industries first commercial CUDA solution and we have subsequently ported and built several CUDA products that run in production environments with Fortune 500 companies.
  • OpenGL – Acceleware delivered the first general purpose commercial GPU acceleration product on OpenGL and continues to lead the way.
  • C++, Fortran
  • MPI, OpenMP, Boost (pThreads), Intel MKL
  • General scientific and HPC programming environments

Scalability

• Acceleware is developing and selling 16 node (equals 64 GPUs with 15,360 processing cores) clusters of GPUs with Infiniband in the market today. If your problem is large, look to Acceleware as the solution in creating scalable solutions to meet any need.

Oil & Gas Solutions

Acceleware is leading the market in providing acceleration solutions for seismic data processing and reservoir simulation. By combining our core knowledge in parallelization and optimization of complex algorithms with an in-house team of seismic industry experts, Acceleware provides software solutions for seismic data processors which access the massively parallel capabilities of compute GPUs. The Acceleware seismic processing solutions provide multi-fold performance increases to reduce lengthy processing times and deliver faster business decisions for the seismic industry. By harnessing the parallel processing power of GPU accelerators to dramatically increase the computation power of data centers, seismic jobs are processed faster and with a reduced total cost of IT ownership.

	Acceleware is bringing innovation to the imaging community by accelerating image reconstruction with Acceleware’s AxRecon™ solution. We dramatically increase the speed of the intensive computations required by today's technology to examine complex diagnostic images Image reconstruction is a way to generate three dimensional images from a series of X-ray projections. The imaging community is often faced with the challenge of the development and implementation of today’s limited imaging technology. Treatment planning technology requires repetitive time-consuming calculations that create a burden on the healthcare system. Acceleware’s software solution – AxRecon – integrates several features and benefits to accelerate image reconstruction and speed up the complex computations required. Acceleware provides access to the massively parallel, multithreaded compute resources of GPUs. GPUs Faster Image Reconstruction Speed Unleash productivity and innovation by completing image reconstructions in record time. Begin to analyze your data sooner with near real time results. No Loss of Image Quality Massive parallel capabilities of the Acceleware AxRecon solution provide ample computational power to eliminate any need for reduced image fidelity. Increase Compute Density AxRecon is an energy saving desktop supercomputer with the capability of a cluster, right at your desk. Quality Engineered Products Have confidence in products that are functionally and extensively stress-tested by the world’s largest manufacturer of GPU technology, NVIDIA®. Seamless Application Integration The AxRecon solution easily integrates with your existing imaging platforms for a simple and quick upgrade process. Return on Investment Gain increase in productivity by putting time saving processing power in the hands of the imaging team. Features and Benefits Feature: Supercomputer in a deskside form factor Benefit: Flexibility of having a supercomputer on demand - no need to schedule the use of a cluster Feature: Organize your job batch Benefit: Manage your reconstruction queue and get your priority jobs completed first Feature: Increase compute density and power savings Benefit: AxRecon is a desktop solution with the power of a cluster Feature: Significantly faster throughput with no loss of quality Benefit: Faster job completion will prevent you from missing important deadlines due to unavoidable backlog Have faster workflow without any compromises in image quality. This is only a sampling of just how indepth this companies technology is. Now that Acceleware has completed their arrangement in regards to restructuring they have emerged as a company that is poised to realize potentially an immense amount of growth going forward. Since I first alerted on this stock it has risen from $0.05 per share to $0.08, representing a rise of 60%. In my opinion this is just the beginning for this company. I encourage everyone who is interested in this company to do your due diligence. An excellent place to start is the company website at www.acceleware.com and by visiting www.sedar.com . For disclosure purposes I have received no compensation of any kind for this post. I own shares in AXE and intend to possibly add more shares to my current position in the near future.
