The Building University-Industry-Laboratory Dialogues (BUILD) for Advanced Computing initiative rose from long-standing efforts at the Council on Competitiveness to understand and enhance the impact of the nation’s advanced computing resources. The rapid proliferation and growing accessibility of advanced computing resources has created an opportunity to build new partnerships and capitalize on areas of the economy […]

Advanced Computing is an ecosystem of high performance hardware, software, application models, co-design capabilities, visualization tools and the talented people who know how to leverage them.

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 […]
