Computer programming has come a long way, taking some interesting zigs and 
zags along the way. And as computing power increases, so increases the 
complexity of the programs.

Linux clusters have brought distributed computing to the main stream giving 
programmers the opportunity to utilize the multi-processing ability that 
the clusters offer. But along with that power comes problems. The standard 
"out-of-the-box" programming tools aren't designed to handle the 
intricacies of distributed processing. Compiling or debugging code using 
these solutions is like pouring regular unleaded into your brand new 
Ferrari. You might get it to go, but you're not going to get the 
performance that you bought the car for in the first place. Efficiency is 
everything in computing.  You want premium petrol in your tank, and you 
want high-performance software tools for your Linux clusters.

Portland Group Compiler Technology, STMicroelectronics (formerly The 
Portland Group) recognizes a need for high-performance programming tools 
that optimize and compile code for multi-threading and multi-processing. 
They have been a trusted name in the high performance scientific computing 
world for over ten years. As Linux clusters become ubiquitous in all 
manners of research, so will the need for the high-performance tools to 
fine tune these precision machines. Portland Group Compiler Technology, 
STMicroelectronics answers the call with an array of tools that help from 
start to finish.

Portland Group Compiler Technology, STMicroelectronics will be at Linux 
World Expo in New York January 30 - February 1 in booth #1619. We'd like to 
extend an invitation to stop by and discuss the role that Portland Group 
Compiler Technology is taking in supporting the Linux platform, including 
an introduction to their new Cluster Development Kit and debugger, which 
provides front end optimization when building and programming Linux clusters.

We hope that you'll stop in and say "hello."
