Interactive Supercomputing

Star-P is an interactive computing platform that extends existing desktop simulation tools such as MATLAB®, Python, and R for simple, user-friendly parallel computing. Star-P is available on IBM system x as well as a variety of computing architectures: SMP servers, multi-core servers, and clusters. By eliminating the re-programming associated with porting desktop application code to parallel systems, Star-P solves large and complex problems that can no longer be done productively on the desktop computer. Ultimately, Star-P transforms the workflow, substantially shortening the "time to solution," within a familar desktop application, combined with supercomputer-like problem-solving capabilities.
