Located in Cupertino, California, Allegro Consultants, Inc., specializes in software, services, and consulting for clients with Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC and Itanium based computers, the HP 3000 and HP 9000. Allegro's primary areas of expertise are: systems software, performance measurement and optimization, IMAGE/SQL (database management system), Eloquence, software migration, and PA-RISC architecture issues. 
Allegro's roots are in the HP e3000 community, but Unix is a major component of its current business activities. Allegro has chosen Linux, the HP 9000 and IBM RS6000 as its main UNIX platforms for software development. Several software ports have been completed to these systems, as well as ports from UNIX platforms to the HP e3000. 
As with any consulting firm, Allegro's most important asset is its people. You may wish to vist the Executive bios, or personal web pages.
Allegro is a member of the Adager Research & Development Team, and has worked closely with Adager in designing enhancements for ADAGER. Allegro has developed for Adager a program called DETPACK, a major addition to ADAGER. This program repacks entries in a detail data set in an optimal manner to improve database performance. Allegro recently worked with Hewlett-Packard's database lab to enable IMAGE/SQL to have datasets larger than 4GB. Allegro co-designed and co-wrote the SPLash! Native Mode SPL Compiler (for PA-RISC), and the Toolboxes collection of utilities for the MPE/iX operating system. Allegro also created De-Frag/X, a disk defragmentation tool for MPE. The Toolboxes and De-Frag/X are sold by Lund Performance Solutions. Allegro is a member of the Precision RISC Organization. For the past several years, Allegro has taught classes to HP employees on various topics for the MPE/iX machines. These topics include Theory of Operation, PA-RISC, System Debug, and MPE/iX Internals. |
