Parallel Software with Parallelware

APPENTRA was set up in 2012 from a visionary outlook: parallel computing, a programming  paradigm that in those years was used almost exclusively in the supercomputer space and was the key to achieving performance, having nowadays finally spread throughout the entire industry of software. That outcome was hard to imagine in 2012 but it has become a reality. The growth of artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and significant development of the present hardware industry, alongside the larger availability of supercomputing capabilities has made parallel computing almost the only option that many software companies have to resort to in order to cope with the growing demand for high performance applications. 

Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric, said: 

“If you went to bed last night as an industrial company, this morning you will wake up as a software and data analysis company.”

However, looking at that prospect ahead of time has allowed APPENTRA to develop important competitive advantages and place the company in the front row of the computing space of parallel computing to fill modern hardware. This has allowed it to get stellar clients in the USA, Saudi Arabia and Europe, as well as establishing strategic collaborations with academic and governmental reference centers such as ORNL (USA), JSC (Germany) and BSC (Spain), as well as develop partnerships with reputable multinational companies to sell its products at a global level.

APPENTRA is a Deep Tech Software startup based in Coruña, Spain. A spin-off with worldwide rights to market products and services based on the innovative Parallelware technology designed and developed in Europe, taking advantage of the results of more than 10 years of research at the University of Coruña, and more recently of the results of projects funded by  the EU. APPENTRA offers development tools for the DevTech and DevOps markets, focusing on High Performance Computing (HPC), edge-HPC (Automotive), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and BigData software applications. It is also a cross-sectional technology for application in many sectors, such as 5G networks, automotive, precision medicine, legacy software, edge computing, industry 4.0, artificial vision, augmented reality, robotics, oil & gas and cybersecurity.

Since its creation seven years ago, APPENTRA has received 16 national and international awards, with the most recent ones being the Top 100 award of Santander X Global Award competition (2020),  the “Cutting Edge Technologies” award of the South Summit 2019, and the “Emerging Technology” award of the Supercomputing SC18 and SC16, the most important global event of High Performance Computing held annually in the United States.

Manuel Arenaz Silva is one of the founders, with a large experience in the technological environment. His main goal from the very beginning was the development of products and services that could benefit from the breakthrough advantages of the innovative Parallelware technology, always helped by Rosa Vázquez Rogel. Together they launched this company relying on an internationally recognized and experienced team.

One of Appentra’s targets for the next 18 months is to increase its’ team, improve sales performance of its first PW Trainer product and to public launch its’ second one, PW Analyzer, which according to them “will lead them to growth “.
