PGI ISV Program
The PGI ISV Program enables independent software vendors (ISVs) to port, tune and maintain commercial applications on Intel and AMD processor-based systems running the Linux or 64-bit Windows operating systems with a minimum of effort and maximum performance. Your applications are the heart of your business. Your developers are experts in the fields targeted by those applications. PGI applications engineers are experts in the porting and tuning of large-scale applications on the latest Intel and AMD processors using PGI compilers. As a member of the PGI ISV Program, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee, your experts and those at PGI work together to minimize your development time and ensure your applications are production-ready and fully optimized on Intel and AMD processors from day one. The result is reduced cost of development, quicker time-to-market, and the ability of your developers to focus on what they do best -- add value to your application.
Software developers interested in joining the ISV Program, please contact the PGI sales group. Program options are listed below.
Participants include:
Products: ANSYS 9
"We chose PGI compilers and tools to port and optimize ANSYS®, a desktop engineering simulation tool, to x64 architecture processors. The leadership and support shown by the PGI team during our migration to 64-bit Linux platforms, along with the steady and ongoing performance enhancements delivered since that time, have contributed significantly to the success of our products. We look forward to sustaining this relationship as a member of the PGI ISV Program."-- Mike Wheeler, vice president and general manager
Products: STAR-CD
"CD-adapco, the leading provider of CAE flow simulation software and solutions, supports its STAR-CD suite on a wide range of platforms with a variety of compilers. CD-adapco has been working with The Portland Group in porting STAR-CD using the PGI compiler to 64-bit Linux for Opteron and EM64T systems. The PGI compiler is robust and delivers good performance. STAR-CD's port with the PGI compiler has been available since mid-2004 and will continue to be available for upcoming releases. We appreciate the excellent work done by The Portland Group as a supplier of fully 64-bit capable compilers on Linux, and look forward to continuing to work with The Portland Group as a partner in the PGI ISV Program."-- Dr. Mark Liu, manager in charge of product porting and optimization
Products: PAM-CRASH and PAM-STAMP
"ESI Group recently started working with The Portland Group to build versions of PAM-CRASH and PAM-STAMP for 64-bit Linux systems based on AMD processors. The responsive and extremely knowledgeable PGI applications engineering staff has helped us make significant progress on these platforms in a short period of time. Good compilers are critical to the success of ESI Group, and it has become clear that The Portland Group is a Linux compiler vendor we can rely on for the long term."-- Raymond Ni, CSM Solver director
Products: Gaussian
"We can count on the stability and reliability of the PGI compilers. Having a compiler with the same features and back-end across many computer platforms saves a great deal of developer time in producing correct and optimized code for each one. We have used PGI compilers and tools internally since 1998 to develop several major releases of GAUSSIAN on Linux and Windows platforms, and we look forward to a closer relationship with The Portland Group as a member of the PGI ISV Program."-- Michael Frisch, president
Company: Livermore Software Technology Corp.
Products: LS-DYNA
"LSTC has been a user of PGI compilers and tools on x86 and x64 processor-based systems for several years. Due in part to our work with The Portland Group, the overall LS-DYNA performance on these systems has increased dramatically. The opportunity to work directly with PGI applications and compiler teams in the future is the primary reason we've chosen to become a member of the PGI ISV Program."-- Dr. Jason Wang, senior software developer
