Tech-X Corporation Receives Small Business Technology Transfer Research Award From the Department of Defense.BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 1999-- Tech-X Corporation, developer of high-performance software solutions for science, engineering and education, has received a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR STTR Small Business Technology Transfer Program STTR Stator STTR Small Technology Transfer Innovation Research ) award from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The project, "Object Oriented PIC Code with Upgraded Physics and Platform Independent GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. ," is in collaboration with the Plasma Theory and Simulation Group at the University of California, Berkeley The University of California, Berkeley is a public research university located in Berkeley, California, United States. Commonly referred to as UC Berkeley, Berkeley and Cal . The C++ application XOOPIC (X11-based Object-Oriented Particle-In-Cell code), developed at UC Berkeley, will be upgraded to more accurately model and design the electron tubes required for next-generation radar and satellite communication applications. Also, the existing GUI (graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to ) will be ported to a cross-platform windowing For Northcoast Where we call someone over and then roll our window up on them. Bassline preference. For Example: "Hey, Andi." *insert window being rolled up* "HAHAHA. toolkit, allowing XOOPIC to run on PCs, Unix workstations and parallel supercomputers. "The object-oriented design of XOOPIC, made possible by the use of C++, will allow us to rapidly integrate new physics algorithms and advanced 3-D graphics, while retaining peak computational performance," says principal investigator David Bruhwiler. "This exciting combination of modern software technology with state-of-the-art physics will reduce development costs for the Air Force and enable a commercial version of XOOPIC to succeed in the electromagnetic modeling marketplace."
