Tragedy in Poland
10.04.2010
We are mourning together with Polish nation. Such tragedy has never happened in Polish and European history after WW2.
SpeedIT Tools
10.01.2010
Vratis plans to release the SpeedIT Tools Library in the 2Q of 2010. In the meantime, a blog describing the current state of development has been published.
The SpeedIT Tools library provides a set of accelerated solvers for sparse linear systems of equations. Manifold acceleration, e.g. more than an order of magnitude, is achieved with a single reasonably priced NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) that supporst CUDA and proprietary advanced optimisation techniques. The library can be used in a wide spectrum of domains arising from problems with underlying 2D and 3D geometry, such as computational fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, thermodynamics, materials, acoustics, computer vision and graphics, robotics, semiconductor devices and structural engineering. The library can be also used for problems without defined geometry such as quantum chemistry, statistics, power networks and other graphs and chemical process simulation. All computations are performed with single or double floating point precision. Two linear system solvers and two preconditioners are supplied.

Press release
20.08.2008
SlidePath
partner with Vratis to accelerate the development of their tissue
imaging capability.
SlidePath, developer of the worlds leading
software for Digital Slide applications in clinical, research and
education is pleased to announce a partnership with Vratis, a company
with a specialist interest in image processing, statistical pattern
recognition and algorithm development. The partnership will focus on
the further expansion of SlidePath’s tissue imaging capability.
Vratis CSO Dr. Wojtek Tarnawski acknowledges that “Image
processing algorithms developed especially for histopathological
analysis of Tissue Microarrays will enable computer-aided assessment of
digital slides and will also provide the first steps towards
high-throughput screening solutions”.
SlidePath CEO Dr. Donal O’Shea says “Our collaboration with Vratis will help to ensure that we continue to provide the highest quality software solutions to our customers world-wide and that our tissue image analysis capability is best of breed”.
