About Progeneric

Progeneric's mission is to deliver "Better by Design" software products and services that make the difficult tasks of generic and parallel programming much easier for mainstream software developers. The majority of today's software applications do not fully or efficiently use the underlying hardware, and we strive to help developers achieve maximum performance for the current system.

Our company motto, Better by Design, summarizes our aspirations. We achieve outstanding performance through innovative software design techniques, which result in software products that are easy to use, reliable and very fast. We continually strive to release software products that we are very proud of and that don't compromise the integrity of their underlying design.
