Boulder, CO – March 10, 2010 –
Tech-X Corporation announced that it has established a subsidiary in Zurich,
Switzerland. By creating a local presence, Tech-X can better service the growing market
for their software products and consulting services in physics simulations and high-
performance computing.
Dr. John Cary, CEO of Tech-X, said: “Having an office in Switzerland enables us to
better serve our customers in the scientific community throughout Europe. As well as
enabling ‘discovery-class’ science, we’re really looking forward to working with
universities, labs, and industry by providing computational solutions for improved
product development.”
“High-performance computing is becoming increasingly important to all areas of science
and engineering, either for processing massive amounts of data or in using computer
simulations as a cost saving measure in the product development cycle”, says Dr. Peter
Messmer, CEO of Tech-X GmbH in Zurich. “Emerging heterogeneous computer
architectures provide an especially attractive option, offering tremendous performance at
a low cost, thus making high-performance computing affordable to a broad base of
customer applications. We are excited to support our European clients with the products,
technologies, and expertise that have served the US Government, industry, and academia
for well over a decade.”
