InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft quietly announced Tuesday that it has bought the technology assets of Interactive Supercomputing to beef up its efforts in high performance computing. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
In the deal, Microsoft gets ISC's team of experts on parallel computing and HPC, as well as the products and technologies that the company has developed. Microsoft will continue to support ISC's existing product, Star-P, but it will no longer be for sale, the two parties said in online statements.
