Nov. 14, 2018 — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) Initiative issued its first joint solicitation today for two of its pillar initiatives, High Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) and High Performance Computing for Materials (HPC4Mtls) programs. Concept papers can be submitted to [email protected] starting November 14, 2018. Deadline to submit concept papers is December 18, 2018.
The solicitation seeks industry partners to work on one-year collaborative projects with DOE’s national laboratories, applying high performance computing (HPC) modeling, simulation and data analysis to key challenges in U.S. manufacturing and material development. The programs are intended to spur the use of national lab supercomputing resources and expertise to advance innovation in energy-efficient manufacturing and in new materials that enable advanced energy technologies. Selected industry partners will be granted access to HPC facilities and experts at the national laboratories. Projects will be awarded up to $300,000 to support compute cycles and work performed by the national lab partners.
Further details are posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
Topic areas of interest for HPC4Mfg and HPC4Mtls can be found at www.hpc4mfg.org and/or www.hpc4mtls.org. Registration for informational webinars scheduled for November 28 and December 6 are available on the program websites.
