Alcoa, the world's leading producer of aluminum products, was one of the first companies to make major use of high performance computing when it became the NSF-funded Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's first industrial affiliate in 1987. When aluminum faced growing competition from plastic and other composite materials, the company used the PSC supercomputer to handle the […]

Microsoft is working with the NSF-funded National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois to develop high performance computing software products that can be used by hundreds of thousands of users. As high performance computing has moved out of the government laboratories and universities and is being adopted more broadly throughout the public […]

The Council on Competitiveness performed the first-ever comprehensive study of independent software vendors (ISVs) serving the high performance computing (HPC) market in 2005. Leading technology analyst firm IDC completed the study gathering current information on 54 of the most important ISV organizations and 110 applications software packages used across a variety of industries. The study […]

High performance computing (HPC) has been and will continue to be a key ingredient in America's innovation capacity. It accelerates the innovation process by shrinking "time-to-insight" and "time-to-solution" for both discovery and invention. Along with theory and experimentation, modeling and simulation with high performance computers has become the third leg of science and the path […]
