London, UK -- 27 Jan 2009

OptimaNumerics, the leading high efficiency technical and scientific computing software developer announced it will integrate OptimaNumerics Libraries with HP Mathematical Software Library (HP MLIB) to develop future versions of OptimaNumerics high performance numerical libraries.

The integrated product, tentatively called OptimaNumerics MLIB, will be made available to all customers in need of numerical libraries.

High performance computer users will be able to achieve increase in productivity, lower cost of computation, perform more complex and higher resolution modeling and simulation, taking advantage of top performing mathematical libraries incorporating OptimaNumerics and HP innovation.

"This is a great opportunity for OptimaNumerics to work together with HP, to bring to customers a highly efficient set of numerical tools incorporating advanced features of HP MLIB and portable scalable high performance of OptimaNumerics Libraries," said Dr Kenneth Tan, Founder and CEO of OptimaNumerics.

“Application developers utilizing complex mathematical software, are looking for ways to speed up the application development process and improve time to market,” said Betty Van Houten, software development section manager, Scalable Computing and Infrastructure at HP. “The comprehensive collection of mathematical libraries offered by the HP MLIB, coupled with scalability of OptimaNumerics technologies, will deliver the highest performance possible on heterogeneous platforms to significantly reduce software development times.”

OptimaNumerics' innovative technologies have consistently delivered superior performance and portability across an unrivalled range of platforms including: the AMD Opteron, Intel Xeon, NVIDIA Tesla, Intel Itanium 2 and SPARC processor families, plus platforms from other vendors, running Linux, Solaris 10 and Microsoft Windows CCS.

The financial terms of this agreement remain undisclosed.
