Implementation technology - AURA C++ software from PCs
to supercomputers.
PRESENCE 2
To support Cybulas growing range of applications the company
has developed the PRESENCE 2 PCI card. More details can be
found here.
AURA C++ implementation
The AURA methods that power many of Cybula's products are implemented as a C++ software library. This library is available
for use in bespoke applications, and for evaluating in potentially
new areas. The library has been developed over the last 7 years,
first within the University of York and now in by both the
University and Cybula Ltd. The library supports many platforms. If
you wish to make use of the library in an application not yet
offered by Cybula, please contact us. Access to the manual pages
for the package can be granted for evaluation.
In most cases the software can be implemented on a conventional
PC, using C++. However, for more demanding applications we
have ported the technology to more powerful computer systems;
Hardware Systems
Cybula manufactures and supplies computer systems that support
the systems we offer. This provides a complete scalable solution
to all problems. One of the foundations of our approach to high
performance systems is matching the task to the available computer
architectures. AURA technology was designed with
consideration to both the pattern recognition problem and the
low-level hardware. The systems we offer range from one of our
systems running on a single PC, tuned to meet the needs of the
customers application, through to clusters of PCs, specialist
hardware and supercomputer systems.
Stand alone PC solutions
If you require a PC based solution we can configure systems to
meet your needs. This includes specifying machine, RAM disk and
interconnectivity. We will specify what is needed of your systems
and work with you to integrate our tools into your products.
Clusters of Workstations - Beowulf
For more demanding applications, where a single PC is not enough,
we can configure and distribute our systems over a number of
processors. Known as a Beowulf cluster, these solutions
enable a number of parallel searches to take place on the data.
Almost any scale of problem can be dealt with using this
approach.
Application Specific hardware accelerators
To enable small foot print, cost effective solutions to the
most demanding applications, Cybula offers industry standard PCI
based accelerator hardware that can be added to a standard PC.
The PRESENCE hardware has been developed in conjunction with the
AURA software library to be transparent to the user, yet provide
very high compute rates. A number of cards can be used in one PC
to add up to 5 extra processors and memory to support the AURA
applications. Details are available here.
Parallel Processor Systems
Cybula offers solutions on high performance parallel computers.
Experience gained through the use of SUN enterprise computers enables us to offer this solution in the most
demanding of applications.
Cortex II parallel processor - a parallel implementation using
PRESENCE.
PRESENCE Hardware
For many applications the use of standard computer systems
cannot provide the speed required. To meet this demand the PRESENCE
hardware has been developed. This technology has been developed
in conjunction with the AURA software library to provide a cost
effective acceleration of CMM based applications. More details of
the latest generation, PRESENCE 2 can be found here.
