4. Competitive advantages
● Autotuning (dynamic optimization)
● an application optimizes itself in the runtime (no
analogs on the worldwide market)
● Platform-independent solution
● maximum performance for any hardware and
data
● Shorter development cycle
● better time-to-market
● Automatic optimization of the source code
● Less demand for developers’ skills

7. Global market
● HPC services and
software*
● $13.1B (2015)
● CAGR = 11%
● Objective: to rank
among the Top 10 global
HPC toolkit vendors
● In five years

* HPC Market Report and Forecast (HPC Advisory Council, May 2011)

8. Competitors
● No direct competitors (yet)
● Indirect competitors
● AMD, Intel, NVIDIA - promotion of their
own processors
● Caps enterprise, GPUSystems, Xcelerit,
StarPU, … – recoding rather than
optimization
● Selling points
● absolutely new approach to optimization
● partnerships vs. competition
