The Portfolio Optimization template calculates the optimal capital weightings for a basket of investments that gives the highest return for the least risk. The unique design of the template enables it to be applied to either financial instrument or business portfolios.

The ability to apply optimisation analysis to a portfolio of businesses represents a great framework for driving capital allocation, investment, and divestment decisions.

Here are some key features of "Portfolio Optimization ":

· Ease and flexibility of input, with embedded help prompts.
· Ability to specify the number of units held in each product or business.
· Specify minimum and maximum constraints for the optimized portfolio.
· Unique Maintain Current Return Level option to ensure that return is not deteriorated at the expense of risk.
· Ability to modify the correlation matrix and portfolio dynamics prior to the optimization process.
· Intuitive graphical result display with Monte Carlo simulation, including probability analysis on specified Target return level.

Simple, quick, and easy, CSS optimization with the drop of a file. CSS Tweak gives you a number of optimization options. With all options selected, you will get the highest amount of CSS optimization. Your CSS file is optimized and is saved in the same location as the original. CSS Tweak will also let you know how much smaller your new CSS file is.

Great for optimizing CSS for deployment to a server.

Flash Optimizer is a solution, which reduces SWF files size up to 80% thanks to algorithms of vectors, shapes, morphing, Z-buffer, fonts, and sounds. It manages to optimize the whole SWF, including curves, zero-objects, and ZLib optimization.

Applimizer is a utility that optimizes Mac OS X applications. It reduces the size of embedded text files or removes language files for foreign languages. Optimization results can be previewed in a statistical overview.

You can optimize applications one-by-one or all at once.
The different optimization techniques can be enabled or disabled on the fly.

Embedded plug-ins, frameworks or other bundles are optimized as well.

Limitations:

· Some features are disabled.


Whats New in This Release:

· New: support for the optimization of cascading style sheets (CSS) as part of the HTML optimization algorithms.
· Re-designed and improved the user-interface optimization algorithm.
· Minor improvements for special HTML and user-interface files. Only selected applications will benefit from this.
· Modified the preview handling of options. Unregistered users will no longer be disturbed by warning messages when they switch on an advanced option. Instead, the buttons are simply disabled.
· Added an exception rule for the optimization of string files for Safari.
· The warning regarding the eSellerateEngine removal will now appear when the options is switched on.
· Corrected an oversight regarding the preferences that governs whether language settings should be saved.
· Extended the credits in the about box in honor of Donald Ducks 70th birthday.

The Dark Tower is an assembler and disassembler. You can make new programs and take apart the ones you have already created. It is a great learning tool and also can be used for code optimization.

Electronics Optimizer is an electronics design tool for advanced optimization and design of electronic circuits - with Optimizer, Monte Carlo and Worst Case Analysis.

Electronics Optimizer will help you quickly design a circuit (choosen from a standard library of circuits) to match your specified design parameters without drawing a schematic.

Moreover Electronics Optimizer has a calculator for first-cut estimates for designers.

Dynamics is a program written to illustrate the connection between Julia Sets and the Mandelbrot Set. It can draw magnified portions of the Mandelbrot set fairly rapidly, although it uses no clever mathematical ideas to speed drawing.

Mandelbrot drawing is performed by a single small method call, and readers are encouraged to:

optimize for the velocity engine
separate the calculation into smaller tasks for optimization on multiprocessor machines.
