SIMtone's ASPEED for Excel is a package that includes Run-time ASPEED and SDK. It provides a wizard that enables a developer to quickly and easily parallelize a worksheet using VBA or wrap UDFs, e.g., XLLs, without having to make the DLLs thread-safe.  Once accelerated the execution will exploit multiple cores, processors, servers, clusters or grid without any additional changes.

SIMtone's ASPEED for Excel is a software package that enables developers to rapidly enable Worksheets to fully exploit the capacity of multi-core, servers, workgroups, clusters and grids.

SIMtone's ASPEED for Excel includes an SDK that contains a VBA Wizard, APIs and all the other components necessary to transparently enable Worksheets to be sped up by parallelizing the time consuming portions of the recalculations.

SIMtone's ASPEED for Excel supports Excel 2000 through 2007 VBA and User Defined Functions (UDFs). ASPEED for Excel complements, but is not dependent on, the parallelization support provided for Excel in Microsoft Office 2007, Office SharePoint Server and Windows High Performance Server 2008.

ASPEED for Excel distinguishes itself from the Excel 2007 enabled parallelism support in that it support it enables VBA parallelism on the client or server and support the parallel execution of single-threaded UDFs on the client,  server, work group, cluster or gird without restructuring the UDF or having to make it "thread-safe."

ASPEED for Excel essentially enables a a user facing worksheet to transparently launch multiple parallel worksheets to achieve parallelism without changing any of its business logic automatically getting parallelism of all its UDFs.  It also enables the parallelization of individual UDFs by just applying ACCELLERANT to the XLL wrapper. Additionally ASPEED for Excel enables iterations inside a UDF to be parallelized.

Current clients are using ASPEED accelerated VBA worksheets to significantly reduce long running recalculations. For example one Bank has been able to reduce the elapsed time of a long running PnL analysis by over 4X on a 4-way processor. Another financial institution has been able to scale the calculations provided in proprietary library by the number of cores applied to the recalcualtion reducing minutes to low seconds.
