Polyhedra Evaluations

 

Evaluation kits for the Polyhedra in-memory DBMS (IMDB) are now available on Windows and Linux for those considering the use of Polyhedra in a commercial project. To obtain them you will first have to register to indicate acceptance of the terms and conditions of the licence agreement, and to give us brief details of the project for which you are considering buying Polyhedra development licenses. Once you have registered, you will be sent an email confirming this. When the sales team has determined that the information supplied on the evaluation form is sufficient, you will be sent password information allowing you to download the evaluation code.

 

Click here to register for access to the standard evaluation kits.

 

To evaluate Polyhedra on a platform other than the ones available here, e.g. VxWorks on PowerPC, you will need to contact your Enea Account Manager.

 

An evaluation system consists of the Polyhedra documentation, and a platform-specific installation kit (which includes an evaluation guide and precompiled sample clients, complete with source code). The programs in the evaluation kits are time-limited, and the programs and libraries are not to be used 'in earnest' for product development or for running live applications. Click on the appropriate links in the table below to download the individual components.

The files listed below are only available to those who have registered for an evaluation copy of Polyhedra - who will have been sent an email detailing the username and password to use - and to licenced customers of Polyhedra (who should register as evaluation customers and then contact us to be granted additional access rights). When you try accessing one of the protected files, your browser will prompt you for a name and password, at which time you should use those supplied to you by email, taking particular care to use exactly the same case, etc., as in the email.

 

Once you have registered, you will be sent an email confirming this. When the sales team has determined that the information supplied on the evaluation form is sufficient, you will be sent password information allowing you to download the evaluation code.

Slides from Training Course

This is the presentation, in Microsoft PowerPoint format, used in our one-week training course on the use of Polyhedra. The first 50 or so slides have attached notes, and act as an introduction to Polyhedra; the rest do not. The training material is not a substitute for attending a training course, where a Polyhedra expert is available to answer your questions, clear up misunderstandings, help with the exercises and suggest how Polyhedra can be used in your application area. However, it should help in your evaluation if you are unable to attend a course.


The presentation, once uncompressed from ZIP format, can be viewed using Microsoft PowerPoint or by the free PowerPoint Viewer available from Microsoft's web site.
