“The Portland Group, Inc. (PGI) and OSC (Ohio Supercomputer

Workstation, PGI’s suite of parallel Fortran, C and C++ compilers
and tools for Linux workstations. The announcement was made from
SC99, the world’s largest conference for high performance computing
sponsored by ACM SIGARCH and the IEEE Computer Society.”

“In addition, PGI and OSC have also announced the formation of a
strategic alliance to enable and promote the use of Linux cluster
systems for parallel computing throughout Ohio’s public and private
colleges and universities. As part of the strategic alliance, PGI
has adopted OSC-developed training materials into PGI’s recently
announced PGI CDK Cluster Development Kit. The PGI CDK is a set of
compilers, tools and utilities that simplifies setup, management
and application development for Linux cluster systems used for high
performance technical computing.”
