DOE supports the high-performance computing advancements needed to strengthen American manufacturing competitiveness. 

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO)​ and Industrial Technologies Office (ITO) today announced selections totaling $4.8 million for 12 projects that will improve America’s manufacturing competitiveness by harnessing the processing power of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.  

Funded through DOE's High-Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) program within its High-Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) initiative, the selected teams will work with staff from one or more DOE national laboratories to advance the development and optimization of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and digital simulations to address their material design and manufacturing challenges. The solutions developed through HPC4Mfg help companies improve the performance of their technologies and/or the efficiency of their processes. 

Learn more about the selected projects.

HPC4Mfg is funded by DOE’s Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation. HPC4EI is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Visit the HPC4EI website for additional information.
