    • Boulder, C0, April 04, 2024: OptTek Systems, Inc., and Scientific Computing Associates, Inc. (Scientific) are pleased to announce the release of a parallel processing version of OptTek Systems’ OptQuest Callable Library (OCL) software called Parallel OptQuest®. Parallel OptQuest uses Scientific’s Paradise® software, which provides the glue needed to cement many independent processes together into a single parallel program. OptTek and Scientific have significantly increased the “speed to solution” of OCL, one of the most powerful and reliable optimization software programs on the market today. Parallel OptQuest will focus on financial analytics, decision support systems, life sciences and chemistry as typical applications.

    “This parallel version of OCL will enhance our customers’ decision-making capabilities by dramatically reducing processing time in complex environments where speed is critical. It also enables real-time solutions for applications requiring immediate process control optimization,” said Dr. James Kelly, CEO of OptTek. “I anticipate this will open up several new market niches for OptTek including contact center operations, portfolio optimization, and supply chain management.”

    “Combining Paradise and OCL provides an elegant match and gives Scientific the opportunity to partner with the OptTek software which is based on award-winning optimization methods,” stated Dr. Martin Schultz, Scientific’s founder. “Both of our companies are looking forward to a powerful alliance that will bring significant added value to our customers.”
