New Video Compression Cluster Technology Released - Pooch Supports QuickTime Video Compression on Clusters

Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2007

San Francisco, CA - MacWorld Expo - (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- The Pooch family goes to the movies! Dauger Research, Inc., announces the first official release of the Pooch QuickTime Exporter plug-in that enables desktop video editing applications to take advantage of clusters. Using the patented Pooch (Parallel OperatiOn and Control Heuristic application) and Pooch Pro clustering software, applications like iMovie and Final Cut Pro can use clusters to generate compressed video faster than they ever could before.

"Video processing on clusters is part of our vision for the future of parallel computing," said Dr. Dean Dauger, President of Dauger Research, Inc. "Our goal is to make clusters so easy to use that the user is barely aware that the computations are performed in parallel. The Pooch QuickTime Exporter provides the easiest, most reliable path to apply clustering to numerically intensive QuickTime compression. This is a major breakthrough for video podcasters, online educators, or other video producers and enthusiasts who want to distribute content online."

Winner of IEEE Cluster's "most innovative" award, Pooch software combines powerful, numerically-intensive parallel-computing clusters with the famed ease-of-use of the Macintosh. Pooch technology is the first and only clustering solution to launch Universal Applications in parallel. Likewise, the Pooch QuickTime Exporter is a Universal parallel code, meaning it supports mixed clusters of Intel- and PowerPC-based Macintoshes. The technology also counts multiple "Core"s as "virtual nodes" taking advantage of parallel computing both inside a box and across boxes using the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) supercomputing-industry standard. The Pooch QuickTime Exporter supports numerous codecs including: H.264, H.261, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, AAC, Lossless, & MACE. It can even compress in multiple codecs simultaneously for greater efficiency. See http://daugerresearch.com/pooch/quicktime/ for more details.

Dauger Research makes v1.0 of the Pooch QuickTime Exporter available today. The plug-in is bundled for free with newly purchased Pooch or Pooch Pro software, while current Pooch users may download the plug-in immediately to begin compressing video on their clusters. See the Pooch web site for pricing, including academic pricing, and a trial version of the clustering software.

The Pooch QuickTime Exporter requires Intel- or PowerPC-based Macintoshes and/or Xserves with 2 GB of installed RAM running Mac OS X 10.4 or later and/or Mac OS X Server 10.4 or later and Pooch or Pooch Pro or PCM v1.7 or later and networked with 100BaseT switched Ethernet or faster for the demanding needs of video.

Profiled and honored on national television by the William Shatner-hosted "Keeping America Strong" show, Dauger Research, Inc. makes high-performance computation and visualization easy to use and accessible to users. Our award-winning team, to better accomplish our scientific goals, reinvented the cluster computer in 1998, pioneering easy-to-use, high-performance clusters. Dauger Research, Inc., is committed to bridging the divides between the scientifically and technically complex and the mainstream.

Bloomington, MN (PRWEB) June 09, 2011

Pearson today unveiled a new video series illustrating and explaining many of the concepts that underpin next-generation assessments, including the use of multimedia in test items, measuring student growth, and increased student engagement. These first three videos are part of an ongoing series that is now available on Pearsons Next Generation Assessments website, which is dedicated to resources that assist and support the education community in moving from paper-and-pencil to online assessments and in taking full advantage of the potential technology has to transform the cycle of teaching and learning.

Just as students will be better able to understand and demonstrate knowledge when they can interact with test items on a computer screen in front of them, these videos help illustrate the tangible methods that are part of next-generation assessments to the broadest possible audience, said Shilpi Niyogi, Executive Vice President, National Services, Pearson Assessment & Information. The series features some of the leading research and content experts in the field of assessment and makes their insight and expertise widely available. Via graphics, simulations and direct explanations, the videos help make complex and abstract concepts concrete for parents, teachers, administrators, policymakers and students. We invite you to watch the videos and share with others to collectively build greater understanding about the potential of next generation of assessments.

Videos now available are:

The Power of Technology to Improve Assessment: The Water Cycle
Presented by Jon Twing, Executive Vice President and Chief Measurement Officer

In this video, Twing demonstrates one way Pearson is using technology to improve teaching and personalize learning. Through the use of a water cycle example he illustrates the power of technology to engage students through an interactive environment.

Measuring Student Growth
Presented by Kimberly O'Malley, Vice President, Psychometric Services

College and career readiness reforms are driving changes in the ways in which the nation uses student test data. In this video, OMalley defines, compares and contrasts the terms: student growth, value-added models, and teacher effectiveness.

Authentic Uses of Modern Media in Assessment
Presented by Randy Craighead, Senior Content Specialist

Next generation assessments need to measure a broader range of English-language arts skills including speaking, listening and research skills. In this video, Craighead demonstrates a computer-enhanced item which includes audio, animation, and text, to show the power of technology in measuring what a student knows and can do.

Future videos in the series will include demonstrations of innovative item types designed specifically to measure standards in math, science and English-language arts, and applications for universal design to maximize the accessibility of the assessments for all students.To view these videos and access the growing library of materials Pearson has developed to support the development of next-generation assessments, visit the web site, Next Generation Assessments, and the video series can be accessed in the Tools and Resources section located to the left.
