SIMtone's focus on severing the application's implicit design constraints and virtualizing it to dynamically adapt to the underlying platform and real-time execution dynamics is at the core of ASPEED’s effectiveness.

Obviously, optimizing compilers, multi-programming and multi-threading APIs, multi-processing tools and programming techniques can help, but the fundamental architecture of the application itself has the biggest and most long lasting influence on its application performance as the loads and the platforms change.

SIMtone provides a relatively transparent way for an application to be virtualized enabling it to adapt and optimize it self to the underlying platform characteristics. Said another way, SIMtone's ASPEED directly optimizes the application's use of the underlying platform without changing the application's design.

SIMtone has focused on this point with the understanding that any adaptation  MUST NOT affect the overall design logic or demand a re-write of an existing program. To this end, SIMtone's ASPEED product line offers very specific approaches, an easy to understand API, underlying dependent data movement capabilities and iteration range management.

SIMtone's ASPEED is packaged and delivered in such a manner that it can easily be applied to new or existing applications and that its inclusion ensures that the application will respond positively to any underlying configuration changes (e.g., single CPU, multi-CPU, multi-core, cluster, grid fabric, high-end systems like Blue Gene, etc.).

SIMtone's ASPEED includes patented APIs, data movement and application execution engine. Collectively these technologies provide an optimized virtualized application environment which enables users of ASPEED to more rapidly adapt  applications including many that have heretofore been thought to be "unparallelizable." Once accelerated these applications can exploit multi-core, multi-processing, cluster and grid platforms with dramatic response time and efficiency results.

Applying SIMtone's ASPEED to applications enables the application to retain its current shape (architecture) and yet quickly exploit grid fabrics provided capacity to deliver predictable completion times. SIMtone breakthroughs include:

- Rapid distributed data identification

- Algorithm-specific APIs

- Efficient and optimized distribution of complex multi-dimensional calculations:

   - Monte Carlo, PDE, Finite Element, Finite Difference, Tree

- Distribution-specific monitoring and diagnostics and logs

- Real-time stall and failure detection and self-healing

Collectively these technical break-throughs offer an Application owner with a robust self-optimizing application that dynamically adapts to the configuration and the actual usage profile of the application.
