Last week, Massively Parallel Technologies unveiled their Blue Cheetah “application ecosystem software” for modern cloud computing environments. With their first product Blue Cheetah Cub now in beta release, the company hopes to provide an all new way of organizing a developer community, defining application software functionality, establishing collaboration, and constructing cloud applications."If you look at Exascale efforts internationally, you really find very little awareness among the different groups about what other people are doing," said John E. West, co-founder of The Exascale Report. "In many cases, it's not only that a group's awareness is limited to their own country, but it limited to their own project. Because these are very difficult to fund, very intensive scientific and engineering efforts to build these computers and the people working on this stuff are really just very busy and very focused. And so what The Exascale Report hopefully does is give an in-depth view to all of our readers on what's going on in all the other groups. So it will kind of bring the community together and hopefully stimulate some discussion that raises all boats at the same time."
