This initiative facilitates expert analysis of emerging technologies and issues, then issues strategic recommendations to keep America's capabilities second to none. We know from experience that to out-compete, we must out-compute.

The final report of NDEMC, an industry-led, public-private supercomputing partnership to support a robust, agile, and globally competitive U.S. supply chain. It was founded in 2011, following discussions with the Obama administration and the Council’s 2010 Roundtable Summit on HPC and U.S. Manufacturing. The Consortium funded pilot programs that promote adoption and advancement of modeling […]

The Exascale Effect: the Benefits of Supercomputing Investment for U.S. Industry High performance computing (HPC) is inextricably linked to innovation, fueling breakthroughs in science, engineering, and business. HPC is viewed as a cost-effective tool for speeding up the R&D process, and two-thirds of all U.S.-based companies that use HPC say that “increasing performance of computational […]

Jeco Plastic Products, LLC is a small custom-mold manufacturer of large, complex, high-tolerance products with a plant in the Indianapolis area. Two processes are used in the manufacturing facility—rotational molding and twin-sheet pressure forming. Materials used range from commodity thermoplastic resins, such as polyethylene (PE), to extraordinarily difficult resins, such as polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) with continuous […]

This case study was produced as part of a project that was created to demonstrate the business and competitive value of modeling, simulation and analysis with high performance computing (HPC) in the U.S. private sector, motivate usage of this innovation-accelerating technology throughout the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain, and identify technologies and partners […]

This paper captured the high level requirements and attributes that a public-private partnership to advance modeling and simulation in small and medium sized manufacturers must contain, as captured on August 31, 2010, at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center summit. This document became the framework for what evolved into the proposal for the National Digital […]

This paper was written to frame the discussion at a summit that brought together over 50 participants. Held at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center in downtown Chicago, the goal was to discuss the necessary elements of a public-private partnership to support advancing modeling and simulation in the manufacturing supply chain. This discussion represented the […]
