MyrmecoX Runtime for Itanium

MyrmecoX worked for all Windows. Neatware decided to port MyrmecoX on Intanium® because we expect performance, compatibility, and large scale applications for it. At first we tested MyrmecoX on the Windows XP 64-bit for Itanium. It worked fine on Itanium without one line modification. Then we decided to develop MyrmecoX Runtime for Itanium® to benefit 64-bit performance.

To make sure the port from 32-bit to 64-bit is worth we designed and tested our benchmarks. The result is better than our expection: the speed of 64-bit Runtime is as twice fast as 32-bit without special optimization! Rewrite some algorithms will increase more performance.

The Runtime for Itanium 64-bit has been added into MyrmecoX Enterprise Edition. The applications such as Web Services (SOAP) based on the MyrmecoX Runtime benefit from the performance of Itanium® 64-bit immediately. Large file processing such as database image file, multimedia file, and high-performance computing file is another benefit of the 64-bit processor.
