01Morgan launches online Plus Six configurator

See, Morgan is modern.
Morgan has launched a new online 3D configurator for the new Plus Six to help potential customers (and those with too much time on their hands) create their perfect new car.
The configurator features high-fidelity graphics to help users fully visualise the new sports car, and every single one of the car's optional extras are also featured to help create the perfect digital mock-up of the car.
The Plus Six is the first car from the Malvern-based manufacturer to have been designed using Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology and its that tech that has been utilised, alongside gaming development software and WebGL technology to ensure complete accuracy.

With the configurator, users can choose their car’s paint colour, wheel design, leather colour and texture, carpet colour, dashboard finish and hood options, as well as other finer details like the interior stitching colour and pattern, seat and hood piping, and wing beading colour. Accessories such as driving spot lights and a luggage rack have also been fully rendered in the configurator, allowing for over a trillion possible combinations.
If having that many options is a bit overwhelming, Morgan has created a few starting points, or 'inspirations'.
The configurator has been designed to run on both desktop and laptop computers, and works best in the Chrome and Firefox browsers. There are three different quality options to best suit the performance of the user’s computer.

The special edition Morgan Plus 4 celebrates the end of an era

Britain’s Morgan Motor Company has announced the demise of its famous Plus 4 model – and is marking the event with the release of 20 special-edition versions that celebrate the resolutely British sports car’s remarkable production run over the course of 70 years.
The Plus 4, which has changed little since its introduction in 1950, will be the last Morgan built on a traditional steel chassis following the arrival of the all-new Plus Six, which features a modern aluminium platform and a turbocharged engine.
The Plus Six – the first Morgan created entirely by Computer Aided Design – is now underway, and the firm has launched a 3D online configurator, which enables prospective owners to create their car
To highlight this “last of the line” status, each £60,995 special-edition Plus 4 will have a gold-coloured chassis and bodywork finished in platinum metallic paint – a reference to the precious metal’s traditional association with 70th anniversaries.
Inside, the cars will carry individually numbered plaques and be fitted with especially embroidered headrests, top-grade leather upholstery, Ravenwood veneers and black Moto-Lita steering wheels, while exteriors are enhanced by dark-grey wire wheels, black detailing and race-style front valance.
In keeping with their sporty appearance, these anniversary models can sprint from a standstill to 60mph in a respectable seven seconds, thanks to a 180-horsepower engine tuned by Aero Racing, Morgan’s in-house motorsport division.
Some of the 20 have already been reserved for customers, but the remainder will be available from Morgan dealers, a few of which still have a small number of the standard, late production Plus 4s and Roadster cars in their showrooms.
The online configurator provides multiple potential combinations of paint colour, wheel design, leather and carpet colour, dashboard finish and hood options
Production of the Plus Six – the first Morgan created entirely by Computer Aided Design – is now underway, and the firm has launched an immersive 3D online configurator, which enables prospective owners to create their perfect car from a potential trillion combinations of paint colour, wheel design, leather colour and texture, carpet colour, dashboard finish and hood options. Details such as interior stitching colour and pattern, seat and hood piping and wing beading can also be specified.
The on-screen image can be viewed from almost every angle and enables users to zoom in on details and see how the car would look with the roof up or down, with a hard top fitted and with the removable side screens on or off.
Once completed, buyers can download images, create a PDF brochure or email the specification to a Morgan dealer.
The configurator can be found at configure.morgan-motor.com/plussix.

Intel Powers HLRN-IV Supercomputer at ZIB in Germany

In this video, Prof. Ramin Yahayapour from the University of GΓΆttingen describes how the Lise supercomputer at ZIB is powering research and discovery.
Intel, Atos and the North-German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN) recently began the second phase of building the HLRN-IV supercomputer system at the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) in Berlin. The system, named Lise, consists of 1,180 compute nodes powered by 2nd generation Intel® Xeon Platinum 9200 processors. With the help of Lise, researchers and scientists will be able to run compute-intensive projects involving mathematical simulations, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI).
Working closely with Atos enabled us to reach a significant technology milestone at HLRN,” said Trish Damkroger, vice president and general manager of the Extreme Computing Group at Intel. “The long-standing partnership between Intel, Atos and HLRN continues to drive tremendous advancements in scientific research and discovery.”
HLRN operates a massively parallel supercomputing system that serves over 200 universities and research institutions in Germany. The Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 processors deliver the computing power HLRN needs to blend traditional simulation techniques with machine learning and artificial intelligence. The Lise supercomputer will allow HLRN to meet the increasing demands of scientists and researchers as they unlock the value of their data and make discoveries in:
  • Earth System Sciences – Including climate, oceans, rain forests, glaciers, Antarctic phytoplankton (microalgae), mineral dust cycles and the stratosphere.
  • Fluid Dynamics – Including turbulence models for ship turbines, wind turbines and aircraft wings.
  • Healthcare – Including computer-aided drug design, improving medical care at home, and a better understanding of illness and treatment of diseases.
  • Recognizing that the convergence of machine learning and AI with traditional simulation capabilities will continue to take researchers in many directions, Atos customized and optimized Lise compute nodes using the Intel Server System S9200WK as a foundation, while leveraging the flexibility inherent in Intel Xeon Platinum 9200 processors to support HLRN’s next generation of research.
    By entering into the second phase of our efforts with Atos and Intel, our users will benefit right away from the more powerful system without needing to change their code. The HLRN-IV supercomputer provides true performance portability, which is a crucial aspect for our researchers in order to quickly benefit from the new, more powerful system,” said Professor Alexander Reinefeld of Zuse Institute Berlin.
    Intel, Atos and HLRN started work on the HLRN-IV supercomputer in early 2019. In December 2019, the organizations kicked off the second phase of building the HLRN-IV system. In attendance at the event were Professor Dr. Christof SchΓΌtte, president of Zuse Institute Berlin; Professor Dr. Wolf-Dieter Lukas, state secretary at the Federal Ministry for Education and Research; Steffen Krach, state secretary at the State Ministry for Science and Research in Berlin; BjΓΆrn ThΓΌmler, minister for Science and Culture in Lower Saxony; Ursula Morgenstern, CEO of Atos Deutschland; and Hannes Schwaderer, managing director of Intel Deutschland GmbH.
    The event included lectures from dignitaries within the scientific community, such as Dr. Horst Simon (Berkeley Lab), and details of work being done at HLRN.
    High Performance Across Diverse Research
    In terms of science communities, HLRN has to support all types of workloads for their many researchers. Therefore, HLRN systems need to have the characteristics of a general purpose system but still be of the highest performance. Their final choice had no accelerators.
    Although we looked at accelerators, including GPUs, as part of the procurement process, there was no advantage with regards to obtaining the highest performance in using GPUs or other accelerators in the system.”— Dr. Thomas Steinke, Head of ZIB Supercomputing
    HLRN’s benchmarks are open and include benchmarks that can take advantage of GPUs. HLRN found that any advantage in performance on some workloads are insufficient, when considering the reduction in general purpose compute capacity, or additional costs involved. A homogeneous system based on the 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors proved itself to be the best choice for the diverse needs of the HLRN scientists and researchers.
    Beating Back Amdahl’s Law
    Ever mindful of Amdahl’s Law, Dr. Thomas Steinke is fond of emphasizing the use of fast algorithms for fast computers. He shared that “The pressure of optimizing code for scaling on a node is less because of the high real-world performance of the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors compared to previous many-core architectures”.
    The 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor family offers an outstanding choice for high performance computing (HPC) and helps programmers cope with Amdahl’s Law.
    Our users will benefit right away from the more powerful system without needing to change their code.”— Prof. ReinefeldAI and Machine Learning stand to impact all areas of HLRN research. A hot area of interest is the blending of machine learning and AI techniques with traditional simulation capabilities. While promising results have been reported, there is much work to be done. The exploration of algorithms is likely to take researchers in many directions, and this need for flexibility is one reason HLRN chose 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors to support their next generation of research. Prof. Yahyapour emphasized that “the CPU is quite good for artificial intelligence and machine learning. That’s an area where we see more need from our researchers. Traditionally they were not so much into data intensive work but that’s something we see as a new trend for the new system that will also be of particular interest.”
    Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) proved to be the logical choice to help increase HLRN’s compute power, and with the addition of Intel Deep Learning Boost (Intel DL Boost) to augment AVX-512, offered outstanding performance for the new frontier of HPC applications.
