Why Open Parallel?

To take a full advantage of the new, highly parallel hardware model, software must be specially designed and optimized. In such highly parallel environments, unless it is optimized or recast to fit a parallel model, traditional software will perform poorly. This is a permanent change that affects all computing.

Hardware is changing in many dimensions: memory footprints, network speeds, storage latency and capacity, and processor availability are all making rapid advances. Applications are demanding more capacity as social networking and big data requirements are accepted as commonplace. In a world where every organisation today is a software company, you need to be able to deliver the best solutions to your clients, faster than your competitors, with the highest standards. Open Parallel is the natural destination of companies and major corporations that need exceptional talent to explore, develop, and test radical ideas.

Our access to talent, a strong technical team driving change, and the flexibility to deliver innovative solutions are the main reasons why customers choose Open Parallel as a technology and business partner. They realise that Open Parallel’s expertise and track record in multicore and parallel computing will continue to be in demand as massive computing and the web converge.

Open Parallel works with industry leaders, supports many local projects and we are members of the New Zealand Open Source Society (NZOSS), the New Zealand Square Kilometre Array Industry Consortium (NZSKAIC) and provide regular speakers at LinuxConf Australia.

Open Parallel Limited is a private company registered in New Zealand. Contact
