Web-based maths benefits from 64-bit power

Paul Boughton

Webmathematica 2.3 from Wolfram Research features the 64-bit performance of Mathematica 5.2.

Capitalising on increased memory and CPU availability across all major platforms, Webmathematica expands the size and scope of scientific problems that websites can reliably tackle - empowering educators, researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts to serve even more robust and innovative content online or throughout any enterprise.

Webmathematica was already the ideal all-in-one solution for putting interesting science onlinebut now it is much more says Tom Wickham-Jones, director of kernel technology at Wolfram Research. We have added the power of true 64-bit computing so developers can build more dynamic sites and their users can experience the next wave of technical computing right through the web."

The new version takes advantage of the latest web development options and performance improvements in Mathematica 5.2including: 64-bit-enhanced arbitrary-precision numerics; multithreading support for numerical linear algebra; major vectorisation speed-ups; RSS and vCard import; and enhanced charts and visualisations.

With Webmathematicacomputations that can be done in Mathematica can also be done on the webincluding the most demanding large-scale problems and simulations. Each task is handled directly on the serverso visitors to a Webmathematica site never need any special software or knowledge of Mathematica to access its functionality.
