Intel XML Software Suite 1.0 Beta

Thorsten Moeller posted an announcement for the release of the Intel
XML Software Suite Beta. The Beta package provides high performance
XSLT processing, XPath, XML Parsing, DOM/SAX support, and XML Schema
Validation functionality for Java and C/C++ environments.The software
is optimized for the newer Core micro-architecture but it will run on
older Intel processors too, e.g. Intel Celeron M, Pentium 4, Pentium D.
Intel XML Software Suite provides a high level of XML conformance with
a 98% pass rate or higher for the W3C and OASIS XML Conformance Test
Suites. Intel XML Software Suite achieves high performance for XML
processing. The software suite's efficient design provides more than
twice the performance compared to competitive Open Source solutions,
enabling fast throughput for business processes. (1) 2X over Apache
XSLTC; (2) 2X over Apache Xalan-C++* XPath; (3) 2X over Apache Xerces
Java Parser for Schema Validation; (4) 6X over Apache Xerces-C++ for
Parsing. From the product overview: "Enterprises are widely adopting
and deploying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions. Many SOA
implementations rely on message formats defined with XML. The
extensibility and structured nature of XML allows it to be used for
communication between different systems. XML also allows a single
source of material to be easily formatted and consumed by many
different presentation vehicles (i.e. 'readers'). This verbosity,
extensibility and flexibility of XML messages can create performance
challenges for software developers to overcome. Intel XML Software
Suite is a comprehensive suite of high-performance C++ and Java
software-based runtime libraries for Linux and Windows operating
systems, delivering maximum performance for eXtensible Markup Language
(XML) processing on industry standard servers and application
environments. Intel XML Software Suite is standards compliant, to
allow for easy integration into existing XML processing environments
and is optimized to support complex and large-size XML document
processing. More Information See also Intel XML products: Click Here
