Symena Releases Capesso(TM) 4.0.1


Native 64 bit support tackles vastly bigger challenges

10 December 2008, VIENNA, Austria

Symena is delivering a new version of Capesso(TM), its market leading automatic cell planning (ACP) tool, to OEM vendor, operator and consulting customers this month. Capesso(TM) 4.0.1 is the first ACP to provide native support to 64 bit computing in the Microsoft Windows environment. The increase in directly addressable memory means that Capesso(TM) can now find solutions for very much larger planning problems in one run as it breaks the barrier imposed by the 32 bit computing environment.

"Native 64 bit computing means faster solutions to much bigger problems," said Dr Martin Toeltsch, CTO of Symena. "32 bit computing limits addressable memory to only 2 GB. This has either limited the geodata resolution that can be used on big planning problems or severely degraded speed of processing as data is shifted on and off a drive. That's much slower than running the whole problem in memory. Our customers want to tackle big city problems like Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, London and Chicago using high resolution data in a single run. With 64 bit support Capesso(TM) can now address up to 256 terabytes (TB). That can easily accommodate big city problems using today's high resolution geodata."

Capesso(TM) 4.0.1 maintains support for 32 bit computing.
