Fitech Laboratories, Inc. announces University Relationship Program
San Francisco, CA - December 21, 2004
San Francisco, CA - December 21, 2004 - Fitech Laboratories Inc., Fitech Laboratories Inc. announced today the creation of
the Fitech Laboratories University Relationship Program. The program is designed to facilitate research projects that can
benefit from the computing power of using a computational grid and is now accepting applications from Universities worldwide.
In order to qualify prospective research projects should meet the following two criteria:
-
The proposed project must either directly concern research in distributed computing, or must possess significant
computational requirements that are suited to running on a computational grid.
-
At the conclusion of the research project the results should be published, with acknowledgement of xTier™/GRID
and Fitech Laboratories’ participation
Fitech Laboratories will supply qualified projects with a number of free academic licenses of xTier™/GRID and in
certain cases, Fitech Laboratories will provide additional project support by providing xTier™/GRID training and
consulting. Fitech Laboratories can also help qualified projects to obtain financial assistance from participating
non-profit funds. For further program information please see:

All inquiries regarding the University Relationship Program should be directed to:
Jon Webster, Technical Director, Fitech Laboratories Inc. via email:
jwebster@fitechlabs.com, or via telephone: +1-646-495-5076
xTier™/GRID
The xTier™/GRID provides a simple yet robust implementation for Enterprise Computational Grid (ECG) applications
and defines the software infrastructure for developing Near Real Time (nRT) ECG applications. xTier™/GRID is best
suited to solving computationally intensive tasks by splitting such tasks into multiple sub-tasks, executing each
sub-task on a dedicated grid node in parallel and then aggregating the results to achieve a final result.
The main features of the xTier™/GRID service include:
- Designed to solve enterprise computationally intensive problems.
- Near Real-Time (nRT) support additionally to traditional long-running jobs.
- Direct support for task splitting, topology management, result aggregation and failover in heterogeneous environment.
