Changing Our Name
2008-06-14Boost Consulting, Inc. to become BoostPro Computing.
When we started doing business in 2001 as Boost Consulting, we noticed that it was hard for many people to make a distinction between our business and the organization known as Boost (http://boost.org). It's been a long time coming, but the process registering the BoostPro Computing trademark is almost complete, and soon we'll be able to legally call our business by the new name. We hope this transition will clarify our role in the development community.

Time Series Library Review
2007-07-30The generic time series library is now undergoing a formal review on the main Boost developers' list.
Along with the recently-accepted Boost Accumulators library, we developed the Time Series library under contract to Zürcher Kantonalbank as part of a suite of high-performance tools used in their massively-parallel financial simulations. ZKB approached us with open outsourcing in mind, recognizing that our expertise with high-performance C++ libraries would be crucial in building the flexible simulation frameworks they needed. We're extremely proud of the result—both its overall quality, and the fact that our client was able to use the results of that work to save billions of dollars without substantially increasing risk.
Check out the full review announcement here.
