Parallel Scalable Solutions
 
We offer solutions with focus on performance and reliability for application development using state-of-the-art multi-thread, multiprocess, or distributed technology:

The scope of our solutions
 
Our solutions are especially suitable for development of programs on modern multi-core and multiprocessor platforms in the following areas:

  • Game Development
  • Embedded Systems
  • Scientific Computing
  • Business and Support Systems
  • IT and Telecom
  • Other program development

The main technology behind our solutions
 
The main technology behind our solutions is called non-blocking synchronization. In short, the idea in this approach is to avoid all kind of locking mechanisms and consequently achieve considerably improved performance and real-time properties.

The theory of this new technology is well established in the research community, however known to be very difficult to implement in practice. Very basic and simple constructs are already available broadly, for example in Java's concurrency package and in Microsoft’s .Net interlocked package. As leaders in research and experts in implementation, we have majorly further developed this technology and can offer solutions of much wider span and possibilities never seen before and moreover not available elsewhere.

May 2008 - Demo Version Available
 
A demo version of NOBLE for Win32 is freely available for download. The library includes both C and C++ language support. The main purpose with this distribution is to freely evaluate the fitness of the NOBLE API and not for performance. The version consequently contains a subset of the lock-free implementations available in the NOBLE Professional Edition.

Jan 2006 - Essex Radez
 
The trade and business oriented company Essex Radez LLC continues their engagement with Parallel Scalable Solutions, this time for a three-month project to develop custom designed data structures and procedures for lock-free memory management on a process-oriented dynamic connected shared memory architecture. Since 2004, Essex Radez are employing custom designed data structures with great success in their server systems, created by us during an earlier project.
