Partnership Provides Innovators with Powerful Numerical Analysis and Simulation Tools

San Jose, CA and Paris, France – November 17th, 2011 - Equalis, the leading provider of open source numerical analysis, visualization and simulation solutions for engineers and scientists, today announced it has expanded its partnership with Hypios, the leading European open problem-solvingplatform, to provide problem solvers with powerful computational analysis tools and complete support programs to accelerate open innovation for customer projects. This joint open innovation solution provides Hypios’ 800,000 expert problem solvers ready access to Equalis’ best-in-class applications, training and support, through solution bundles specifically developed for Hypios.

Equalis’ industrial grade solutions can be used to accelerate problem solving in a wide range of application areas including; simulation, optimization, algorithm development, visualization, signal processing, control systems, biological sciences, and much more. Hypios has worked with Equalis to offer three valuable offerings to its solvers:

—Complimentary webinars focused on educating Hypios solvers on how to use numerical analysis and simulation tools to solve problems

—A Solver toolkit which includes software and technical support for the duration of the problem solving competition process for only $95

—And a 20% discount on Equalis products for all solvers who submit solutions, regardless of whether the solution is awarded a prize

“Through this natural extension to our partnership we are able to empower innovators with ready to use state-of-the-art numerical analysis applications for rapid solution development”, said Carmine Napolitano, CEO and President, Equalis.

“Hypios is excited to further expand our partnership with Equalis and leverage their best in class solutions for our community to accelerate innovation” said Daniel de Segovia Gross, CEO, Hypios.
