About Tech-X Corporation

Tech-X Corporation specializes in computational science and engineering using new software development paradigms. Our software and consulting services are used to reduce both cost and technical risk for commercial and scientific customers via modern modeling techniques, advanced visualization, and distributed computing technologies.

Tech-X Facility Headquartered in Boulder, CO, Tech-X Corporation is an entrepreneurial and dynamic enterprise committed to scientific and technical excellence and innovation. We provide technical solutions through collaboration and product development and are dedicated to advances in science and engineering. Our business consists of grant funded scientific R&D projects and scientific software products.

Focus

Computation: developing applications for prediction through computer simulations, especially high-performance computing, including:

VORPAL®: application for solving the most challenging computational problems in electromagnetics and electrostatics in either the presence or absence of matter. VORPAL uses sophisticated solvers, as well as both fluid and particle representations of matter.

OOPIC Pro™: is an easy-to-use plasma physics simulation application that helps improve plasma physics education and solves challenging problems in basic research. OOPIC Pro aids in plasma-processing equipment design, analysis, and optimization.

FACETS™: multiphysics framework for distributed simulations with initial application for fusion device modeling.

Computation Support

High-Performance Scientific Computing: providing solutions based on our deep knowledge of modern, massively parallel architectures (multi-core, many core, hybrid combinations), algorithms, and software tools, coupled with an understanding of the scientific questions being studied, to accelerate scientific computing applications.

Distributed Middleware: enabling solutions for parallel and distributed simulations, distributed services, and remote access and distribution of scientific data using the following technologies:

CORBA

GRID (GLOBUS and WSRF)

Data Distribution Service

Service Oriented Architecture

Data Management: providing solutions for uniform access to and organization of heterogeneous and distributed scientific data in various formats such as the following:

HDF5

NetCDF

OPeNDAP

MDSplus

XML

Component Technology: developing reusable components for multi-language distributed applications using the following technologies:

Common Component Architecture

CORBA Component Model

Babel

Graphical User Interfaces: Design and development of cross-platform GUIs for scientific applications for accessing experimental data, launching and monitoring local and remote simulations, bringing visualization of outputs.

Visualization: remote and parallel visualization of scientific data using the following technologies:

History

Tech-X Corporation was founded in 1994 by John R. Cary, Ph.D. and Svetlana Shasharina, Ph.D. Tech-X CEO, Dr. Cary is Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado. Dr. Shasharina is Tech-X Vice President of Computational Infrastructure. Since its founding, the company has grown to greater than 60 employees, two thirds of whom are PhDs in the fields of physics, computer science, and mathematics.

Our Employees

We believe that creativity and focus are maximized when those who contribute their energy to the company own it and benefit from its success. As staff of an employee-owned company, Tech-X Corporation employees are vested in the success of the company and driven by shared interests and goals. Our employees work together as teammates to grow the company financially and deliver superior products and services to our partners, collaborators, and customers.
