We are looking forward to successful business with you in 2016!

Greetings from us all at Go Virtual

FORT WORTH, TX (10 November 2015) – Pointwise just completed its first ever Wallpaper Contest to celebrate meshing artistry. The contest gave people who generate meshes for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the Pointwise software a chance to show off the aesthetic aspects of their grids. It also allowed the CFD community to decide which grid was the most beautiful.

Formula 1 Tire created by Tessa Uroi? with the University of Zagreb won the 2015 contest with their image of a mesh around a Formula 1 tire with grooves: a surface mesh is shown, as well as slices through the interior.
Tessa has the distinction of being the winner of our inaugural Wallpaper Contest and has won a souvenir box of Pointwise branded items.
The winning image is displayed on Pointwise’s homepage at www.pointwise.com and the wallpaper may be downloaded at www.pointwise.com/wallpaper.

Pointwise, Inc. is solving the top problem facing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) today – reliably generating high-fidelity meshes. The company’s Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers, such as ANSYS FLUENT®, STAR-CCM+®, ANSYS CFX®, OpenFOAM, and SU2 as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS; runs on Windows (Intel and AMD), Linux (Intel and AMD), and Mac, and has a scripting language, Glyph, that can automate CFD meshing. Large manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide rely on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution.

We attended the Metacomp Technologies Symposium as usual. This year was all about upcoming news in Metacomp’s product portfolio and also several presentations from their customers.
The big highlight of the symposium was the presentation of Metacomp’s new release, new GUI, new features, and above all ICMP – Integral Computational Multi-Physics.
Want to know more, please contact us.

This year it will be held from September 15th-17th, 2015 at Hilton hotel in Pasadena, California USA. Read more https://www.metacomptech.com/index.php/info/symposium-2015.

Metacomp Technologies is a leading provider of software tools for major aerospace, defense, and automobile manufacturers, many government labs and research organizations, universities as well as other companies that require complex modeling for research, troubleshooting analysis, and product development.

During ISC in Frankfurt, Dr. Ulrich Meier, Director Presales at Go Virtual Germany, gave to presentations on success stories where new technologies are involved.

The first presentation – held at the Intel booth – was about an installation in the field of Life Sciences at the DKFZ (German Cancer Research Center) in Heidelberg. DKFZ is the largest Next-Generation-Sequencing facility, using Illumina HiseqX with a capacity of sequencing a 18,000 individual human genomes per year. The goal is the genome comparison for individual patients of cancerous tissue with healthy tissue and the reference genome to find the molecular difference of cancer types in order to apply the right treatment. This is an important step toward the long promised “personalized medicine”. Each sequencing run produce about 70 GB of raw data – or 1.3 PB per year, which needs to be processed fast and according to the DKFZ quality standards. This is were the the compute cluster solution from Go Virtual comes into play. The complex data processing pipeline used by DKFZ requires a combination of parallel and high-throughput processing, where the data exchange between pipeline steps is done by IO of millions of small file. The cluster composed of 30 Hewlett-Packard Apollo 6000 servers with 512 GB memory, two 14 core Intel Xeon Haswell CPUs and 1.6 TB Intel NVMe SSD scratch space per node perfectly masters this heavy compute load.  Intel’s MVMe technology boosts IOPS by avoiding SCSI and SAS interfaces of classic SSDs and opens the full PCIe performance and bandwidth for small file IO.

The second presentation – given at CoolIT’s booth – was also about a Life Siences customer, the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The challenge here was to retrofit liquid cooling solution into existing systems such that the minimum water inlet temperature was 40 °C and the hot water could be used to heat adjacent buildings. The cooling solution had to be retrofit into existing server systems housed in the container environment at CBS.

Direct Contact Liquid Cooling from CoolIT Systems: “Rack DCLC CHx40” was applied to enable reuse of energy. Hewlett-Packard ProLiant DL560 Gen8 servers were cooled using CoolIT’s centralized pumping CHx40 technology, where cooling liquid is distributed through stainless steel manifolds, as shown of the photos below. All metal, dry-break quick connects allow for hot-swappable servicing of any single server.

By combining HP ProLiant servers andCoolIT’s efficient and affordable technologies Go Virtual showcases the implementation of Green IT. For more information on CoolIT’s Rack DCLC Chx40 see:
