The History of Haverly Systems

Key events showing our successful R&D and important technology advances


1962 Formation of the company.

1963

Incorporation of Haverly Systems, Inc.
1964 Development of the first commercial optimizer for any widely available computer (on the IBM 1401), helping establish the software-for-sale field
1965 Development of the first matrix/report generator integrated with the optimizer. The basic approach of Magen was so sound that it became the honored ancestor of the current highly successful and widely used offspring OMNI.
Developed Magen/LP200 optimizer for the Honeywell 200 series of computers,
1966 First optimizer on the new IBM 360.
1967 Developed the most powerful and widely used model management system, Magen II on the IBM 360 for use with the IBM MPS optimizer.
1968 General enhancements.
1969 Developed the advanced Magen IV model management system to replace and obsolete our Magen II in order to stay in the forefront of the evolving field and ahead of competitors.
1970 Did ground-breaking research on the be
1971 General enhancements.
1972 Development of PDS model management system on Univac mainframe.
1973 Establish Haverly Systems Europe, Ltd with Dr. Martin Fieldhouse.
Developed connectivity of GRTMPS to spreadsheets.
1974 Development of PDS/Magen model management on the CDC 6000 series to work with the CDC optimizer.
PDS/Magen was used and we participated in the Project Independence model PIES.
1975 General enhancements.
1976 First to provide a model management system implemented as an optimizing compiler on IBM mainframe. This implementation, named OMNI, replaced and made obsolete our product Magen but gave enhanced capabilities to users and great speed of execution.
1977 Provide support for use of PDS/Magen for the MARKEL model.
1978 Developed software on the Data General mini computers.
1979 Developed OMNI and HS/LP for the 16 bit Data General computer.
1980 General enhancements.
1981 Developed OMNI and HS/LP on the VAX and 32 bit Data General Computer.
1982 We recognized the new trend toward application packages away from tool software and acquired the rights to GRTMPS refinery planning software.
1983 General enhancements.
1984 General enhancements.
1985 Developed OMNI and HS/LP on the 16 bit 80286 PC computer.
1986 Acquired the right to support and market CAL II and the Chevron library.
1987 Developed OMNI in assembly language for the Intel 32 bit PC.
Developed the HS/LP optimized for the 32 bit PC. Integrated LP and OMNI using the Pharlap DOS extender.
1988 General enhancements.
1989 Added the iCDM graphical front end to CAL II to create H/CAMS.
1990 General enhancements.
1991 Developed OMNI on the IBM RISC 6000 computer.
Built our new world headquarters office building.
1992 Developed GRTMPS Adherent Recursion technique.
1993 Development of relational data base connectivity option.
1994 Ported OMNI to the DIGITAL alpha computer.
1995 Implementation of first H/SCHED refinery scheduling system.
Redeveloped software to the WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS NT operating systems.
1996 Implementation of first H/SCHED refinery scheduling system.
Redeveloped software to the WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS NT operating systems.
1997 Invented the progressional algorithm for automatic schedule generation in the H/SCHED refinery scheduling software.
1998 Developed model manager for H/CAMS.
Developed many correlations to automatically extend input data to complete assays using what would become expert system ideas.
1999 Developed Process Simulator Interface allowing GRTMPS to automatically connect to external, user-provided, non-linear process simulators. These can be called automatically during recursion to achieve optimality for non-linear process units.
2000 Developed cut point optimization to connect GRTMPS and H/CAMS during recursion.
2001 Developed GRTMPS G4 as a user-friendly database modeling system.
Arranged for sales and technical support site in Singapore.
2002 Developed generalized refinery simulator (all data driven) for use with H/SCHED.
2003 Developed graphical model builder that not only produces a graphical process flow diagram but also automatically sets up the tables for the refinery simulator and the Gantt chart to represent the refinery. Can be used standalone or as the model builder and user support tool of H/SCHED.
2004 Developed H/COMET as a web based, net back tool. LP is incorporated as a black box to optimize for each unique situation. Each run is for a region of the world and produces net-backs for a simple, medium and complex refinery –as optimized for current product prices and specifications of the region.
2005 Developed Distributed GRTMPS to solve large sets of cases using distributed processing..
Developed the multi-start feature for GRTMPS which automatically and reliably finds what appears to be the global optimal in most recursion models.
2006 Developed the crude blend optimizer.
2007 Completed integration of GRTMPS into the large supply chain implementation at Total.
Developed generalized connectivity to large data base systems.
2008 Developed H/Gal-XE as a complete gasoline blending scheduling tool with graphical model building and automatic creation of the optimal schedule generation.
2009 Developed initial version of the web base Net Blend for optimal selection of components and gasoline blending.
Developed MultiCore GRTMPS for simultaneous solving multiple planning cases on a single, multi-core standalone PC.
Developed many new things in H/CAMS including new user interface and a new separation inefficient modeling method.
