More Patent Work

I haven't finished the patent work needed for the PPA ... so that needs to get done this weekend. Hopefully, then, I can post about some of the work that we've been doing.

We were looking at CLP to solve some of the problems we were having with our algorithms, but one of our developers (Saurabh Bhatla) managed to locate a redundancy in some of the Prolog routines, which led to a severe optimization: small data sets went from 5 minutes of traversal to under 1 second. Hopefully, on Monday, we can see the fruits of his labor, and combine it with the GUI, to have a alpha stage prototype (then do we have a beta stage prototype, then a prototype, then an alpha, beta, and final product?).

We're excited. It would be best if our target audience didn't need a grid or cluster of machines to run our software on.
