Angstrom Microsystems™ Enters the Billion Dollar High Performance Computing Software Market With Accelerated Solutions
Angstrom Saves Electricity Usage in the Data Center by Reducing the Number of Computers Needed to Perform Calculations
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - April 22, 2008) - Angstrom Microsystems Corp. (OTCBB: ANGS), a
green computing solutions company, announces today that it has developed
xBlas™, a software that accelerates by up to 300x, a fully compatible
Altas Blas™ linear algebra library. This significantly reduces the
number of computers needed to run these calculations thereby saving
electricity in the data center. Atlas Blas is a standard used by many
industries as far flung as the automotive sector for designing cars using
Fluent™ software, quantum physics in developing new solar panel
solutions using Q-Chem™ software and to CAD/CAM to visualize complex
models quickly using Autodesk™ software.
What makes Angstrom's xBlas product special is that it does not require
additional software development on the part of the customer to see
remarkable gains (up to 300x) in performance. Instead, Angstrom provides a
software library that looks and functions identically to the standard Altas
Blas that is in use today by the majority of high performance computing
facilities worldwide. Going "the last mile" affords our customers the
luxury of keeping their existing software from being split into two hard to
maintain competing code bases -- a show-stopper for most of our customers.
Angstrom is additionally offering this software in Angstrom servers as a
turnkey solution to provide its clients with the greatest energy efficiency
available on the market. Further, Angstrom will also offer this solution as
a separate licensed product allowing for a broader base of clients and
additional revenue stream for Angstrom.
Angstrom Microsystems specializes in Green Computing solutions, providing
blade servers and workstations for high performance computing. With both
hardware and software solutions to reduce the power needed to drive
computing, Angstrom reduces the number of machines required to facilitate
these tasks and thereby saving companies significant investments in
additional servers at the same time reducing the energy required to run
these servers.
"Angstrom is excited to provide an Altas Blas compatible library that not
only blows the doors off of existing performance numbers, it is designed to
fit hand-in-glove with any existing customer software without any
significant modifications," said Lalit Jain, CEO of Angstrom Microsystems.
"Angstrom has done the work to go the last mile, enabling the customer to
rapidly deploy xBlas with their existing code base."

in a blazing half a second -- calculations that would normally take 147
seconds using the original Altas Blas software. xBlas is currently
designed to perform as a single precision library.
