SoftDevices Smart Process Management Platform now on Playstation 3
January 2008
SoftDevices released its Smart Process Management Platform Extension to support the Sony Playstation 3 with Yellow Dog Linux.
To support high computing agents for automated calculations as part of enterprise business processes, SoftDevices has ported the RADAR communication platform and Digital Employees® to the Playstation 3. Early benchmarks and integration tests show a dramatic performance increase when using all 6 available cell processors for integer/floating point vector calculations over any available Intel or AMD Processor.
While this integration is not meant for everyone, large computing intensive applications, like the Power Assure Cell DDM Engine for power demand forecasting, can now benefit from the additional calculation power of the Sony Playstation 3 and equivalent IBM Cell Processor based Blade Servers directly from within the process models.
