<p>Update to Pooch Software Enhances the Cluster Experience</p>
<p>Huntington Beach, CA, USA - January 10, 2005 - Dauger Research, Inc.,<br />
announces version 1.6.5 of Pooch (Parallel OperatiOn and Control Heuristic<br />
application) and Pooch Pro clustering software today. Combining the best of<br />
cluster and grid computing, Pooch is the only solution that merges a modern<br />
graphical user interface with supercomputer-compatible parallel computing.<br />
Long recognized as a leader in cluster solution providers, Dauger Research<br />
delivers an unmatched combination of powerful tools to manage and maintain<br />
cluster resources, maximizing the power of clusters for its users.</p>
<p>"Providing the easiest, most reliable, and most powerful path to 'ad hoc'<br />
clustering, the Pooch family is a cluster technology leader. Evidenced by<br />
our long history leveraging the latest desktop computing technologies, such<br />
as Bonjour, AppleScript, drag-and-drop clustering, multiprocessing,<br />
multiple MPI library support, and OS X, we have a long history of growing<br />
with renovations to the Macintosh. We continue to innovative with the<br />
latest platform transitions in Pooch and Pooch Pro, making clusters as<br />
easy-to-use as possible for users", said Dr. Dean Dauger, President of<br />
Dauger Research, Inc. "We bring Macintosh-style computing to<br />
supercomputer-compatible clusters, producing the best and most flexible<br />
user experience in parallel computing."</p>
<p>The Pooch family last introduced new enhancements, including<br />
"playlist"-like node lists and network tools, enriching the user experience<br />
of supercomputer-compatible cluster computing. Pooch's Job window features<br />
a Grid job type, making distributed launching of many single-processor<br />
executables as easy as point and click. Independent executables not<br />
designed for parallel computing can therefore utilize a cluster through<br />
Pooch's GUI. Pooch supports all execution environments available on current<br />
Apple hardware and supports five distinct implementations of the<br />
Message-Passing Interface (MPI). Pooch leverages major Tiger technologies,<br />
including Dashboard where it reports the status of the cluster's job<br />
activity in an aesthetically pleasing environment.</p>
<p>The new Dauger Research Vault presents eight tutorials extensively<br />
describing how to develop parallel applications and algorithms. Users can<br />
access tutorials outlining the different types of parallel computing,<br />
detailed MPI information, and descriptions, with example code in Fortran<br />
and C, of the basics of writing parallel code. Visitors to the new web site<br />
can download GUI and command-line installers containing a trial Pooch,<br />
sample parallel applications and source code, a Pooch Software Development<br />
Kit, and full documentation. Dauger Research makes it easier than ever to<br />
write, develop, and run your parallel code today.</p>
<p>Pooch and Pooch Pro v1.6.5 will be available January 18, when updates will<br />
ship to Pooch users whose subscriptions are active. The latest version<br />
delivers enhancements, particularly to Pooch Pro's administrative features,<br />
as well as minor behavioral changes and fixes.</p>
<p>Pooch v1.6.5 is available for US$175 for the first compute node then US$125<br />
for each node thereafter. Pooch Pro v1.6.5 is available for US $200 for the<br />
first compute node then US$150 for each node thereafter. See the web site<br />
for special academic pricing. Users may order Pooch and other software<br />
using the forms on our web site or online through the Dauger Research Store.</p>
<p>Pooch requires networked Macintoshes and/or Xserves running Mac OS 9 with<br />
CarbonLib 1.2 or later, Mac OS X 10.2 or later, and/or Mac OS X Server 10.2<br />
or later with 4 MB of available RAM and 2 MB of disk space. Pooch Pro<br />
requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later, and/or Mac OS X Server 10.2 or later.</p>
<p>Profiled and honored recently on national television by the William<br />
Shatner-hosted "Keeping America Strong" show, Dauger Research, Inc. makes<br />
high-performance computation and visualization easy to use and accessible<br />
to users. Our award-winning team, to better accomplish our scientific<br />
goals, reinvented the cluster computer in 1998, pioneering easy-to-use,<br />
high-performance clusters. Dauger Research, Inc., is committed to bridging<br />
the divides between the scientifically and technically complex and the<br />
mainstream.</p>
