ExpressWare is pleased to announce new products from Sterling Software, Visual Edge and Integrated Computer Solutions. *********************************************************************************************** CONNECT:Queue from Sterling Software CONNECT:Queue is an optimized version of NQS (Network Queuing System) formerly offered by Silicon Graphics. Ideal for Challenge and Onyxsystems, CONNECT:Queue offers job scheduling and workload balancing. CONNECT:Queue for UNIX Scheduling can initiate, manage and execute batch "jobs" on machine where the software resides or on other platforms connected to the network. The Scheduling module also helps users improve throughput by establishing priorities, requeuing jobs that have malfunctioned and monitoring the status of jobs. In addition to all the features and functionality provided by CONNECT:Queue for UNIX Scheduling, CONNECT:Queue for UNIX Workload Balancing offers an additional feature; automatic load-balancing. With Workload Balancing, a network administrator can improve the utilization of available power and route work to machines most suited to the task based on CPU and memory utilization parameters for each defined UNIX machine. This means that CONNECT:Queue for UNIX Workload Balancing will determine the least loaded machine and send the job there to maximize computing resources. ***************************************************************************************** UIM/X from Visual Edge UIM/X 2.5 is a comprehensive second generation Graphical User Interface (GUI) Builder. It enhances programmer productivity by enabling software developers to interactively create, modify, test and generate code for the user interface portion of their applications. With UIM/X 2.5, developers can create interfaces which may be readily ported across platforms as well as create iconic interfaces for existing keyboard- oriented applications. Features full integration with release 1.2 of the OSF/Motif toolkit and contains a built-in C interpreter. Additionally UIM/X 2.5 generates high performance error-free C or C++ code. ****************************************************************************** Builder Xcessory 3.0 from Integrated Computer Solutions Builder Xcessory 3.0 is a full-featured Graphical User Interface (GUI) Builder. Development time and cost is substantiality reduced without adding proprietary libraries or languages. Doug Young, a Principal Scientist in VMD, has been working with ICS over the last year or so to get Builder Xcessory (BX) to support C++ classes and code generation, following the style of his book, "Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and OSF/Motif", Prentice Hall. The goal of this work was to create a builder that both supports and encourages an object-oriented architecture for applications built using BX. BX 3.0 contains the first generation results of this collaboration. Users can create classes and define each class's protocol directly in BX, in addition to defining the UI implemented by each class. ************************************************************************* To order, call ExpressWare at 1-800-455-WARE (9273) Please call Patti Kunsman at 415/390-3068 or email at patti@corp.sgi.com for more details, product literature or ordering information for all three products.
