First, the news: Concurrent Announces Availability of its SIMulation Workbench Linux-based, Real-Time Modeling Tools Wednesday October 24, 8:00 am ET SIMulation Workbench Provides Full GUI Control of Complex Simulations Developed in MathWorks' MATLAB/Simulink DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ:CCUR - News), a leading provider of time-critical Linux® operating systems and integrated software and computer solutions for mission-critical applications, today announced that its SIMulation Workbench™ modeling environment is now generally available on its popular iHawk real-time Linux platforms. SIMulation Workbench provides a complete framework to develop and execute real-time hardware-in-the-loop and man-in-the-loop simulations. SIMulation Workbench is the industry’s next-generation COTS modeling tool designed to meet the most demanding of simulation needs. Available from Concurrent as a fully-integrated test platform, SIMulation Workbench solutions improve test quality and reduces development costs. Features and benefits include: -- A Real-Time Database for fast, convenient memory-resident access to all model parameters and signals. -- Flexible modeling supporting The MathWorks’ MATLAB/Simulink models. -- Preserve existing and new hand-written Fortran, C/C++ or Ada code based models. -- Extensive I/O support controlling thousands of I/O points with support for a large selection of COTS I/O boards. -- Powerful GUIs to conveniently configure, start, stop, record and play back simulation runs. -- Scripting language to control and/or change the simulation environment in real-time. -- Concurrent’s RedHawk Linux real-time operating system featuring guaranteed performance determinism. -- Real-time debugging using Concurrent NightStar™ development and analysis tools “SIMulation Workbench was designed from the ground up based on customer and simulation market requirements,” said Ken Jackson, V.P. of Special Systems, Concurrent. “The industry has a strong need for powerful real-time simulation and testing tools that use COTS and real-time Linux technologies. We are excited about the positive reaction from our customers.” “VDC expects an increased use of virtual prototyping methodologies,” said Matt Volckmann, Senior Analyst/Program Manager, Venture Development Corporation. “The adoption of more advanced system prototyping and simulation solutions represents a strategy for developing software more effectively and validating software/hardware interaction earlier in the design process.“ Concurrent iHawk real-time PCI-based systems are powered by up to eight Intel Xeon® or AMD Opteron® sockets and contain up to 64 GB of memory in rack mount and tower enclosures. Configurable with a wide range of commercially available components, the iHawk is the ideal platform for today's simulation, data acquisition, process control and other time-critical applications.

With revenue looking like it's finally going to turn around from the multi year slide, I would hate to see CCUR sell itself for a 30% markup! I think they would do their shareholders a disservice to sellout at the bottom! IF (i know, i know..big if) they are finally getting to cash flow positive, if they are seeing potential in their end markets and they have started to build a foundation for the future, why sell now? Especially for a lousy 30%. Maybe the few people (like myself) who have bought lately would welcome the quick return but I can't believe anyone who's been on board, holding this stock for a while would like to see the company bought out!
