We are a group of antenna design engineers. We typically run computer optimizations to design various antenna and other passive microwave circuits. The optimizations are numerically intensive and are run in a parellel fashion on a local network of Linux machines. Linux on Intel has proven invaluable to our work, providing reliable systems at low cost.
