Energy Department Selects Projects for High Performance Computing for Manufacturing

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), announced nearly $1.2 million for four new projects to support American steel and aluminum manufacturers in improving energy efficiency, increasing productivity and accelerating manufacturing innovation.
The funding announced today will provide advanced computing capabilities to improve manufacturing processes and resolve key manufacturing challenges through the use of High-Performance Computing (HPC). These projects were selected from the sixth solicitation for the High-Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) program.
The HPC4Mfg program, supported by DOE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office, facilitates technical support from national laboratories, including access to supercomputing capabilities, high-end modeling and simulation software, and subject matter experts.
