HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, November 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Axceleon presents at HP-CAST 17 (Hewlett-Packard Consortium for Advanced Scientific and Technical computing users group) in Seattle, Washington, on November 10th-11th. HP-CAST is being held in conjunction with the SC2011 supercomputing show also being held in Seattle.
The topic of the Axceleon presentation is "Opportunities and Challenges for Image Processing on the Cloud". Cloud based computing has been used in many industries over the years and is now rapidly expanding to the 3D Animation Industry.
"We are very pleased to be invited for a third time to present at HP-CAST. HP and Axceleon have had a close relationship since 2002 with many mutual deployments around the globe. The role of the "cloud" is expanding quickly in the image processing arena. Cloud based rendering is being actively deployed by 3D animation companies large and small and provides a very cost effective, flexible solution for image processing and rendering", said Michael Duffy, president and COO of Axceleon. "Axceleon has over 10 years of experience and expertise working in larger private cloud environments and first deployed CloudFuzion in public clouds in 2008. We were the first to announce the ability to build complete clusters for image processing and rendering in the cloud in less than 5 minutes using CloudFuzion", commented Michael Duffy.
CloudFuzion is integrated with applications such as Autodesk Maya, 3dsMax, Softimage, Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D and allows launching of image renders from the application directly to any cloud based render farm anywhere in the world. CloudFuzion will move the scene, including any attributes or references, from the studio data repository to the cloud based render farm and in turn will move the resulting rendered images back to the studio data repository as part of an automated workflow.
The artist is oblivious as to where the images are being processed or rendered.
CloudFuzion is a workflow automation solution for media & entertainment; no render wrangler required, color coded job & run status, a simple self-service user interface and also supports split frame/tiling and stitching of large 3dsMax and Maya images for further render acceleration. CloudFuzion also has the ability to manage individual processors or cores to maximize any 3D application's core usage by machine. This enhances the speed of processing and further improves the time to results, a major productivity tool for 3D animation production pipelines.
ABOUT ENFUZION & CLOUDFUZION
EnFuzion and CloudFuzion , high performance cluster computing software, is developed here in the United States by Axceleon. The CloudFuzion platform is available as a service (PaaS) and used on larger public clouds, such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon EC2, compute grids and high performance internal cloud computing environments and runs natively on all major OS platforms Windows , Linux , Mac OS and Unix .
EnFuzion cluster computing software is currently deployed in power/energy utilities, 3D applications, financial services, bioinformatics, scientific research, telecommunications and engineering, where it helps users to get more results faster. EnFuzion was one of the first sizeable deployments of grid computing technology on Wall Street.

Punishment of egoistic behavior is not rewarded
2011-11-15
The heated debate surrounding the German "state Trojan" software for the online monitoring of telecommunication between citizens shows that the concealed observation of our private decisions provokes public disapproval. However, as a recent experimental study has revealed, observing and being observed are integral components of our social repertoire. Human beings show a preference for social partners whose altruistic behaviour they have been able to confirm for themselves. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön and the University of Cologne ...

Productonica: Robot speeds up glass development
2011-11-15
In order to develop glass with new characteristics, experts select about ten compounds from potential elements, mix them and then heat the powder. They heat it in a furnace until it is soft, then they pour it into a mould and let it cool slowly and in a controlled fashion, down to room temperature. During that process small samples from the viscous glass are taken to test it: how viscous is it? How well does it wet metals? How does it crystallize out? To produce the glass samples by hand and to test them requires a lot of time: one employee needs approximately two weeks ...

George Mason University research gives hope to women with deadliest breast cancer
2011-11-15
Women with the deadliest and rarest form of breast cancer now have a chance of treatment where once their options were severely limited, thanks to a new discovery by George Mason University researchers.
This aggressive cancer, called "inflammatory breast cancer," kills about half the women who have it within five years; patients live on average a mere 18 months after diagnosis. About 10,000 women are diagnosed each year with inflammatory breast cancer, according to U.S. government statistics.
In a recent study, Mason scientists pinpointed a key driver in the cancer ...
URALCHEM OJSC Announces Operating Results for the First Nine Months of 2011
2011-11-15
URALCHEM OJSC announces operating results for the first nine months of 2011. The production volume of URALCHEM Holding's enterprises during the first nine months of 2011 increased by 6% compared to the same period in 2010, amounting to a total of 3.815 million tonnes. The production of ammonium nitrate increased by 7%. Due to market conditions, the production of DAP and NPS 14:34:8 has been reduced to zero in favor of increasing the production of more marketable MAP and NPK fertilisers. Their output increased by 63% and 18% respectively. The production of other types of ...
Bats, dolphins, and mole rats inspire advances in ultrasound technology
2011-11-15
Sonar and ultrasound, which use sound as a navigational device and to paint accurate pictures of an environment, are the basis of countless technologies, including medical ultrasound machines and submarine navigation systems. But when it comes to more accurate sonar and ultrasound, animals' "biosonar" capabilities still have the human race beat.
But not for long. In a new project that studies bats, dolphins, and mole rats, Prof. Nathan Intrator of Tel Aviv University's Blavatnik School of Computer Science, in collaboration with Brown University's Prof. Jim Simmons, is ...
Protecting Houston from the next big hurricane
2011-11-15
HOUSTON -- (Nov. 14, 2011) -- To protect Houston and Galveston from future hurricanes, a Rice University-led team of experts recommends building a floodgate across the Houston Ship Channel adding new levees to protect densely populated areas on Galveston Island and the developed west side of Galveston Bay. The team also recommends creating a 130-mile-long coastal recreation area to sustainably use wetlands that act as a natural flood barrier.
The recommendations appear in a new report this month from Rice University's Severe Storm Prediction, Education and Evacuation ...

Stem cell study helps clarify the best time for therapy to aid heart attack survivors
2011-11-15
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A research network led by a Mayo Clinic physician found that stem cells obtained from bone marrow delivered two to three weeks after a person has a heart attack did not improve heart function. This is the first study to systematically examine the timing and method of stem cell delivery and provides vital information for the field of cell therapy.
The results were presented this morning at the 2011 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association Meeting in Orlando, Fla. They also will be published online in JAMA to coincide with the presentation.
