3L ports 3L Diamond multiprocessing software tools to CommAgility DSP board

EDINBURGH, Scotland, June 3,2013 /PRNewswire/ -- 3L Ltd, the premier provider of software tools to simplify multiprocessing, today announced availability of its 3L Diamond suite for use with the CommAgility AMC-2C6678 high performance DSP/FPGA card.

Under continual evolution since 1987, 3L Diamond auto-magically handles the interconnection management when tasks are moved to different cores or devices. Engineers are free to focus on the application instead of the irritating minutiae of the connectivity. This freedom helps maximise the benefits of the C6678 multicore DSPs from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), built on the KeyStone architecture.

The AMC-2C6678 is a single-width, full-sized AMC card powered by two of TI's latest TMS320C6678 DSPs, each with eight 1.25GHz C66x cores. It is ideal for a range of high performance DSP/FPGA processing applications. The board also includes a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA and a 20Gbps per port Serial RapidIO infrastructure.

The CommAgility AMC-2C6678 is the latest of many pre-installed hardware platforms supported within 3L Diamond. Each licence includes access to all supported devices and boards. Copious royalty-free examples and tutorials demonstrate the creation and simple movement of tasks around available hardware.

"With 3L Diamond, moving tasks between devices and cores becomes a trivial effort. The main perceived complexity of multicore development is removed and engineers can focus on the application," said Guy Hunter, responsible for Sales and Business Development at 3L. "Whether migrating legacy code or deciding on the best topology, the flexibility provided by 3L Diamond dramatically reduces risks of project delays associated with change."

Dr Peter Robertson, Founder of 3L Ltd, said, "From the earliest days of parallel processing, we identified that access to the processing power needed to be simplified. Evolving through support for devices like the Transputer and 'C40, 3L Diamond provides proven, simple access to the performance of Texas Instruments' multicore DSPs."

"TI enjoys collaborating with companies like 3L and CommAgility, who are committed to extending the reach of TI's KeyStone platform to a variety of customers," said Dave Bell, applications manager, DSP, TI. "Our collaboration is helping simplify the software development environment, helping customers achieve maximum performance on the KeyStone architecture."

AVG CloudCare Integration with Autotask Pro Software Featured at 2013 Autotask Community Live! Event and June Webinar

AMSTERDAM & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

AVG Technologies N.V. (AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security, privacy and optimization solutions to 150 million active users, today announced AVG CloudCare integration with Autotask IT business management software is being featured during the 2013 Autotask Community Live! user conference and exhibition June 2-4 in Scottsdale, AZ. AVG also will team with Autotask for a webinar for managed service providers, to be held on June 11.

AVG integrated Autotask into the latest edition of AVG CloudCare, its free, easy-to-use cloud based administration platform that provides for remote deployment and management of IT and security services for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Now, with a single sign-on connection, partners can access LiveLinks for navigation between Autotask and AVG CloudCares customer summaries, new customers, alerts, reports, policy templates, settings, support, invoices, payments and more. The Autotask integration also provides seamless invoice integration with Autotask customer billing software.

Many MSPs have adopted PSA software to help them with the workflow, organization, monitoring and management of the technology services they deliver. Our goal is to simplify life for the channel and provide value by integrating AVG CloudCare with a variety of existing systems and tools they already have in place to run their businesses, said Mike Foreman, General Manager for SMB for AVG Technologies.

Autotask is one of the leading hosted IT business management software platforms for streamlining business processes. Its software integrates a broad range of critical business systems, including customer relationship management (CRM), service desk, tech scheduling, project management, billing and reporting, and provides real-time service delivery intelligence. Autotask is accessible from virtually any computing or mobile device connected to the Internet.

In its recent independent Channel Assessment report on AVG CloudCare, the 2112 Group noted, The integration allows managed service providers using Autotask to have an easier time adopting and administering AVG CloudCare through their PSA console. The report added, PSA platforms are a staple of the managed services segment. While MSPs and VARs can use AVG CloudCare without a PSA, the integration makes it more scalable and manageable within the context of a managed services practice.

Our use of Autotask integration saves us many hours of manual work every week and we couldnt imagine working without it. VanGuard Technologies makes money by providing a high quality white glove service to our clients at the right price and the only way we can do that is by being as efficient as possible and being proper stewards of our resources. Autotask and AVG CloudCare form part of the backbone of this efficient service delivery, said Matthew Adkins, president of VanGuard Technologies. We havent found anything that beats AVGs combination of support, pricing, and performance.

AVG will participate and exhibit during 2013 Autotask Community Live event in Scottsdale, AZ June 2-4. AVG will present a session, Leverage the Power of Autotask and AVG CloudCare to Thrive in the Managed Security Business, on June 4. In addition AVG and Autotask will co-host a webinar, How To Get Into The Managed Security Business: Leveraging the Power of Autotask and AVG CloudCare, on June 11 at 1 p.m. EDT.

Clavin seeks to make its mark in open-source world

A new software designed for the defense and intelligence community has an unlikely name in Clavin. Its partly named for the know-it-all postal worker on the long-running TV sitcom Cheers.

But what makes Clavin an acronym for Cartographic Location and Vicinity Indexer more unusual, its founders and others say, is that it is open-source software. Its source code is available for free so that users can change and customize it.
