MWH Soft Water Modeling Adds Open MP Support

BROOMFIELD, CO, May 14, 2009 - MWH Soft, a leading global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, today announced that all products in its water modeling family now fully support OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing), enabling engineers to work more efficiently than ever with very large water distribution models.

Open MP, a multi-platform shared memory parallel programming technology, takes advantage of multiple core processors to speed up computations a documented 40+ percent over the previous version. The technology upgrade can be downloaded from the Product Center section of the MWH Soft website.

The state-of-the-art enhancement reflects MWH Soft’s commitment to technological advancement and further secures the standing of its Water Utility Suite as the indispensable engineering complement to infrastructure design and management software.

The new edition enhances a product that was already among the highest-performing in the water infrastructure modeling market. It reflects an intensive R&D effort focused directly on performance, the trait engineers value most in modeling software. Speedy performance is especially critical in establishing water quality compliance, a task that requires running very large dynamic network models for very long simulation times. The groundbreaking speed increase will help water enterprises make better management decisions, create better designs, and meet higher quality standards in a shorter turnaround time.

“Engineers want a great user experience that allows them to focus on the model they are constructing, calibrating and analyzing, not the software,” said Tony A. Akel, P.E., President of Akel Engineering Group in Fresno, CA, and a leading national expert in water systems modeling. “Productivity enhancements like those in MWH Soft’s OpenMP edition set new standards for high performance water network modeling and make a significant difference in the quality and timing of the projects we undertake, as well as our ability to manage, operate, monitor and secure our drinking water distribution systems and plan reliable, cost-effective improvements.”

“We are very pleased to give our customers the significant performance advantages of OpenMP technology,” said J. Erick Heath, P.E., MWH Soft’s Vice President of Sales and Client Relations. “Professional modelers worldwide have eagerly awaited this powerful enhancement, and we’re confident they will experience a dramatic difference in simulating dynamic water quality conditions in large all-pipe water distribution network models.”
