February 19, 2008 - Tech-X Corporation announced the release of VORPAL v3.0. VORPAL is a software framework that enables plasma simulations composed of particles and fluids for 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D geometries. New capabilities will allow researchers to apply VORPAL in new application areas and enable more advanced simulations of the physics being studied. For more details, see the VORPAL press release or the VORPAL product page.

October 17, 2007 - Tech-X will be hosting a VORPAL User's Group meeting in Orlando, FL before the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Meeting (APS DPP). Topics to be covered include input, visualization, as well as upcoming features and new calculations. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP by sending email to sales@txcorp.com.

June 15, 2007 - VORPAL v2.2 has been released. VORPAL is a software framework that enables plasma simulations composed of particles and fluids for 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D geometries. New capabilities will allow researchers to apply VORPAL in new application areas and enable more advanced simulations of the physics being studied. New capabilities include a re-architecting of the product documentation, as well as the ability to describe more complex geometries of physical problems and the addition of new physics capabilities. This release also provides support for the Intel-based Mac OS X platform. More information can be found on the VORPAL product page.

April 19, 2007 - TxPhysics 1.0.0 has been released by Tech-X. This physics library includes models for impact ionization of neutral gases by electrons and ions, field-induced tunneling ionization of atoms, ion range and stopping power in solids, ion-induced electron yield from solids, and secondary electron yields. The code is cross-platform, and the library functions can be called from C, Java, or Python. More information can be found on the TxPhysics technology page.

November 13, 2006 - Tech-X is pleased to announce the release of VORPAL v2.0.0, a software framework that enables plasma simulations composed of particles and fluids for 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D geometries of arbitrary complexity. New capabilities available as part of this release allow VORPAL to solve a wider array of problems, with more accurate representations of the geometry of various components being modeled, and more advanced simulations of the physics being studied. More information can be found in the press release or the VORPAL product page.

November 10, 2006 - Tech-X is pleased to announce the release of FastDL v2.0.0, a software framework that enables parallel computations with IDL from ITT Visual Information Solutions. With this release the performance and robustness of TaskDL, one of the components of FastDL, has been greatly enhanced. More information can be found in the press release or the FastDL product page.

September 07, 2006 - The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science announced recipients of the recent Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) grants. John Cary, CEO of Tech-X Corporation, is the principal investigator for the new SciDAC work developing a multi-physics, parallel framework application (FACETS) for full-scale fusion reactor modeling.
