Advances in technology are requiring a new examination of how we access data and work with that data to gain knowledge and insight. Data volumes are exploding. Advances in media are rapidly changing the way we live and work. Video is becoming the way we personally communicate with each other. Entertainment technology continues its advance in higher fidelity and instantaneous access offering us the extraordinary experience of high definition television in our homes, and instantaneous access to tens of thousands of crystal-clear songs online. Advances in sensor technology are revolutionizing health care, manufacturing, science, security and defense. All of these forces are contributing to exponential data growth. As computation speed increases, and computation becomes more parallel, data communication needs to be seamlessly integrated with data computation. This requires speed advances in data communications to ensure the ability to keep up with data computations. Pentum Group, Inc. is creating the basic networking technology to meet the demands of next generation high-performance computing (HPC) and Distributed Real-Time Embedded (RTE) systems. This networking technology will enable these systems to achieve very effective memory/processor balances, that are capable of scaling to very large systems with very large communication bandwidths. | |

Our executive team His past contributions include novel parallel algorithms for very large arithmetic computations that lead to the discovery of the largest known prime number and Sophie-Germain pairs, a parallelized MPEG implementation that led to today's DVD revolution, massively parallel complex solvers that contributed to the development of today's stealthy aircraft. John did early Linux development work with Synopsys that subsequently led to the broad adoption of Linux as a fully supported platform and helped Synopsys to overtake Cadence for leadership in the EDA market. At SGI, John initiated the development of a performance engineering team to support SGI emerging server business. He lead benchmarking efforts that resulted in a major procurement win with the DOD MSRC program that represented several hundred million dollars of hardware revenue to SGI. He developed technical training and development programs for field engineers that enabled SGI to become a leader in technical computing and contributed to the emergence of technical servers as the largest SGI profit center. He later lead the Science marketing organizations responsible for several hundred million dollars of annual SGI revenue.
Fred Lang (Chief Marketing Officer) has a distinguished career in computer sales and marketing that has spanned more than 30 years. He has held sales and sales management roles with IBM, Data General and SGI and continually delivered top revenue performance in each capacity. Fred has developed numerous successful sales and marketing campaigns that have represented billions of dollars in revenue. At SGI, he created several marketing programs that provided $60M in additional end of quarter revenue and enabled the company to exceed revenue projections. In 1997, Fred established SGI as the primary provider of technology to NASA/JPL on the Mars Pathfinder Program. On July 4, 1997 the Pathfinder landed successfully on Mars and began sending back images created on SGI platforms. SGI servers also provided the primary website on what became the largest event in web history to that date. Fred's strength has been his ability to understand complex customer requirements to define and deliver solid value for his company's key customers.
Dr. Bodo Parady (CTO of Pentum Group, Inc.) is a 25 year veteran in computer system technology development. He currently leads Pentum Group in the development of new products in ultra high speed networks. His past contributions include development of oil well resistivity simulator, a fault simulator for Fairchild Semiconductor, improvements to the HSPICE circuit simulator, display methods for radiation fields, a high performance prime factor algorithm transform used to find the largest known prime number at Amdahl Corp., and a fully cycle accurate microprocessor and cache simulator for Intergraph Advanced Processor Division. At Sun, he was a leading technologist in the development of high performance computing, and commercial cluster markets. He established the High Performance Computing team at Sun for this billion dollar market by influencing executive management and co-authoring the market survey for its initiation. His introduction of SCI into Sun, led to the high reliability clustering product at Sun at the core of a billion dollar business. He led in the technical market analysis of hardware encryption, and established the processor and hardware security architecture team. He is an accomplished researcher and engineer in parallel performance of applications, performance of high speed interconnects, microprocessor architectures, and applications of photonics to computer systems. He had a longtime leading role in SPEC benchmark development, and initiated and realized the OMP2001 suite for benchmarking the largest parallel systems. He holds multiple patents in computer hardware and software. .
