SciberQuest, Inc. is an information solution provider in areas ranging from collaborative computing, data mining, visualization, simulations, to space physics. The firm's broad base of customers and partners includes universities, national laboratories, multiple sectors of the U.S. government, high performance computing centers, medical institutions, and a myriad of commercial enterprises. The firm's team of exceptionally accomplished scientists and technologists is committed to providing value-added end-to-end solutions that are both pragmatic and innovative. Other important areas of activity include scientific visualization, data management, web-interfacing of databases, and scientific and educational software development. SciberQuest, Inc. is also developing, through a NASA SBIR contract, an advanced computing infrastructure called Interoperable Distributed Data Engine (IDDat), which acts as an add-on to Virtual Observatories and supports processing and remote data analysis of widely distributed data over grid computing infrastructures. A second piece of technology, called RemoteMiner is a data mining engine that connects to a virtual observatory via IDDat and enables parallel mining of large data sets with autonomous operation capabilities.
More recently, SciberQuest, Inc., in collaboration with teams from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has successfully tested key innovative ideas, which extend Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) to electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations. The goal is to incorporate these innovations and develop a first-ever, multi-resolution, 3D, parallel, objected oriented, electromagnetic PIC code, EMPOWER (Electro-Magnetic Particle Operation With Extended Resolution). This code has immediate applications to problems of interest to DOD, DOE (High Power Microwave and beam device modeling) and NASA (e.g., magnetic reconnection, collisionless shocks, Hall thrusters).
