Chicago, Illinois, July 27, 2007 – Mori Seiki subsidiary DTL (Digital Technology Laboratory), has integrated a Linux Network supercomputer, the LS-P Performance Tuned Supersystem. The introduction of this system represents a significant investment in the entity that has developed many of Mori Seiki’s groundbreaking
innovations of the last several years.

DTL develops and analyzes application systems and elemental technologies, as well as conducting structural analysis of design data sent from Japan. Structural analysis examines changes to the machine structure over time by calculating its movements and converting them to mathematical expressions on a computer. This analysis proves highly useful in the areas of static and dynamic rigidity and thermal displacement. In the past, these calculations were completed on standard desktop PCs. The new Linux supercomputer was purchased to meet the demands of increasingly complex analyses.

The LS-P Performance Tuned Supersystem optimizes analysis systems, allowing high-speed, high-precision simulation and generations of 3D models of machine tools. The introduction of the system has increased processing speeds by up to 30x faster than what was possible on the old system. This allows for a more precise analysis and higher detail in the exploration of machine design optimization.

“We have seen many significant innovations come out of DTL since it’s establishment,” said Thomas Dillon, president of Mori Seiki. “Our investment in the new Linux LS-P Performance Tuned Supersystem demonstrates yet again our constant dedication to pushing the limits of technological advancement within the industry.”
