Abstract:
Nano-Hive brings the power and speed of distributed computing to Nanorex
Nanorex acquires Nano-Hive, adding distributed computing and advanced simulation capability to its molecular engineering platform
Bloomfield Hills, MI | Posted on August 31, 2006Nanorex today announced a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Nano-Hive LLC, a pioneer and leading developer of distributed molecular simulation software. The acquisition integrates two powerful open source software solutions under the same roof. NanoEngineer-1, developed by Nanorex, is the first computer-aided design (CAD) program for the nanotech age, featuring a 3-D molecular modeling environment with an integrated molecular dynamics engine for simulating the movement and operation of mechanical nanosystems. NanoHive-1 is an advanced nanosystem simulation platform with the ability to integrate several molecular physics plugins and distribute calculations over a network to many computers. Nano-Hive is renamed to NanoHive-1 for consistency with the rest of the Nanorex product line.

"With NanoHive-1's molecular physics plugin architecture and distributed
computing power, NanoEngineer-1 users will have even more speed and options
at their disposal," said Mark Sims, Nanorex's president. "NanoHive-1 will
give our users better-quality simulations faster."
Brian Helfrich, Nano-Hive founder and architect of NanoHive-1, joins the
Nanorex team where he continues as the lead architect for NanoHive-1. "The
integration of NanoHive-1 and NanoEngineer-1 will provide a powerful
computational toolset for nanotech researchers and students," Helfrich said.
"While NanoEngineer-1 already has an excellent molecular dynamics simulator,
NanoHive-1 enhances it by giving users more options. Now users can run their
simulations on a wide variety of computer architectures and handle jobs that
would otherwise take too long to complete."
About Nanorex:
Nanorex Inc., based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is a developer of
computational modeling tools made specifically for the design and analysis
of productive nanosystems. Nanorex's first product, NanoEngineer-1, is a 3-D
molecular engineering program. It includes both a sophisticated CAD module
for the design and modeling of atomically precise components and assemblies,
and a molecular dynamics module for simulating the movement and operation of
mechanical nanodevices. NanoEngineer-1 is currently under development and is
scheduled for release in spring 2007.
