[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nAxRecon(TM) Shortens the Time Required for Drug Development\n\n\nCALGARY, June 3 /CNW/ - Acceleware Corp. (TSX-V: AXE), a leading\ndeveloper of high-performance computing applications, today announced the\nadoption of the AxRecon image reconstruction solution for micro-computed\ntomography (CT) by a major pharmaceutical company. Eli Lilly, a leading\ndeveloper of pharmaceutical products, has selected AxRecon(TM) solution to\nspeed up image reconstruction times used in the pharmaceutical development\nprocess.\n\n\n"Our early success in helping pharmaceutical companies reduce time spent\nin drug development is encouraging," said Sean Krakiwsky, CEO of Acceleware\nCorp. "AxRecon's ability to simply and seamlessly fit with existing CT scanner\nhardware and software to deliver results up to 50 times faster makes our\nproduct attractive to medical researchers and other users of CT Scanners."\n\n\nPharmaceutical researchers regularly use CT Scanners in the drug\ndevelopment process to observe the effects of novel drug candidates on\nanatomy. However, deriving value from CT Scanners for drug development is\nhampered by slow image reconstruction time due to insufficient computing\npower. This reduces efficiency as well as the researcher's ability to maximize\nthe capabilities of advanced imaging equipment. Acceleware's solution\neliminates the computer processing bottleneck in image reconstruction\nworkflow, and speeds up the evaluation of drug effectiveness.\n\n\nAcceleware's AxRecon works as a turn-key solution with a low cost of\noperation that fits into the current CT Scanner workflow, generating fully\nreconstructed, quality images completed hours sooner than before.\n\n\nAcceleware's application acceleration platform utilizes the power of\nNVIDIA(R) Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) to dramatically increase the speed\nof sophisticated computations, saving on power and space while maintaining\nimage quality.\n\n\nFor more information about the AxRecon solution please visit our website\nat: www.acceleware.com.\n\n\nAbout Acceleware\n\n\nAcceleware develops and markets solutions that enable software vendors to\nleverage heterogeneous, multi-core processing hardware without rewriting their\napplications for parallel computing. This acceleration middleware allows\ncustomers to speed-up simulation and data proce...
