The Star-P open software platform delivers revolutionary results to scientists, engineers and analysts by enabling them to transparently use high performance computing resources, using familiar desktop tools such as MATLAB®, Python, R and many others.

Within most R&D organizations, domain-expert scientists, engineers, and analysts are typically the ones who work with VHLL programming environments to develop new models and algorithms. HPC programming expertise is usually not part of their skill set. However, the increasing scope of required simulations forces the domain experts to go beyond what they could traditionally do within the desktop-based VHLL environments.

Star-P enables VHLL programmers to:

• Expand the size of problems well beyond the desktop capabilities
• Expand the computational tools well beyond the functions included in the VHLL environment’s arsenal
• Speed up computation through the use of parallel computing on clusters of multicore servers as well as hardware-based accelerators
• Optimize the capabilities of your VHLL computing through the addition of libraries that are right for your task
• Monitor performance and behavior of the expanded computational environment
• All that while operating interactively from your familiar desktop/laptop VHLL user interface
