HPC4mfg Seeks New Proposals to Advance Energy Technologies

Today the Energy Department’s Advanced Manufacturing Office announced up to $3 million in available funding for manufacturers to use high-performance computing resources at the Department’s national laboratories to tackle major manufacturing challenges. The High Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) program enables innovation in U.S. manufacturing through the adoption of high performance computing (HPC) to advance applied science and technology in manufacturing, with an aim of increasing energy efficiency, advancing clean energy technology, and reducing energy’s impact on the environment.

Acoustic Simulation is Now Key to Successful Product Design

“Creating the right sound profile for a product is increasingly complicated. The current emphasis on energy efficiency and smaller environmental footprints, driven by government mandates and consumer preferences, influences the design of vehicles, aircraft, personal electronics and household appliances. Integrating acoustic simulation software into their design processes gives them insight before their products hit the showroom floor – or in other words, when it’s too late.”
