Longer-lasting components for highertemperature environments
Lower cost, more reactive catalysts Understanding detailed processes in
critical focus areas such as oxidation Materials for hydrogen and fuel cells Modeling aging adhesives, joints of
dissimilar materials
The HPC4Mtls Program is designed to enable a step change in the cost, development time, and performance of materials for applied energy technologies through high performance computing
5UCM#.ppt – Author – Meeting, Date
High performance computing is…
leveraging “supercomputers” to advance our study of that which is otherwise too big (e.g., stars and galaxies), too small (e.g., atomic to nano-scale), too fast (e.g., nuclear fusion), too slow (e.g., cosmology), too dangerous/expensive (e.g., destructive testing)
6UCM#.ppt – Author – Meeting, Date
Accelerate innovation
Increase product competitiveness
Lower energy costs
Environmental benefits
Reduce testing cycles
Reduce scale-up time
Shorten the time to market
The benefits of HPC to industry can be extraordinarily high
These all enhance economic competitiveness!
The DOE/International Data Corp. report on HPC: New results indicate high ROI returns resulting from investments in HPC
On average, from 329 case studies:– $673 in revenue per dollar
of HPC invested– $44 of profits/cost savings
per dollar of HPC invested

Industry Status:• Some larger companies use HPC, but struggle to stay
current• Few small to medium companies use HPC
DOE Status:• DOE labs possess five of the top ten HPC systems
worldwide; two of top four in Graph500• Broad expertise in the application HPC• Can be a challenge for industry to understand the
best way to partner with DOE
The HPC4Mtls Program will lower the barriers to bringing the power of HPC to this community at low risk
HPC4Mtls creates partnerships that leverage DOE lab expertise and compute resources to address critical problems in applied energy technologies
8UCM#.ppt – Author – Meeting, Date
