Pervasive Software announced the results of two benchmark tests that ran Pervasive DataRush, a Java development framework for building parallel data processing applications for multicore hardware, on a 32-core HP Integrity server running HP-UX 11i with HP Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) Version 6.0.00. The K-means and Levenshtein edit distance tests recorded linear scalability for Pervasive DataRush across all 32 cores.

“Building parallelized software, especially for data-intensive applications, remains complex, time-consuming and error-prone,” said Mike Hoskins, CTO and general manager of Integration Products at Pervasive. “The key to Pervasive DataRush’s power is its ability to deliver speed and dividing processing up in an intelligent fashion. With these benchmarks, we’ve demonstrated that Pervasive DataRush not only hides the complexity of parallel data processing but seamlessly scales to light up all 32 cores in a state-of-the-art multicore SMP machine. We’re excited to align our priorities for innovation in data processing with leading companies like HP that are developing multicore hardware, operating systems and Java support with the developer community in mind.”

Pervasive DataRush gives Java developers a framework to write applications that harness the power of multicore – once – in a scalable and cost-effective way, eliminating the need to rewrite code each time an application runs on a server with additional cores. Pervasive DataRush enables applications to leverage the benefits of multicore processing while eliminating the strain of constantly re-optimizing applications in a fast-evolving hardware environment.

“These benchmark results effectively demonstrate that Pervasive DataRush with HP's Java SE 6 on HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i provides an exemplary platform for developing, integrating and deploying Java applications to harness multicore processing," said Lorraine Bartlett, worldwide director of Integrity server marketing, HP. “This achievement supports the reality of Java's ‘write once, run anywhere’ vision and HP’s commitment to Java as an open, vendor-neutral standard platform.”
