The High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation initiative has funded more than 140 projects between the national laboratories and U.S. industry since its inception in 2015. Pictured: In this Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory/LIFT collaboration, lithium (gold) is added to aluminum (purple) to strengthen the resulting alloy. The model predicted alloy strength as a function of the percentage of lithium in the alloy.

Registration is open for the High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) initiative’s upcoming virtual event on April 8, a webinar highlighting the impact of high performance computing on material design and predicting material performance.

Free to the public, the “Focus on Materials” event will feature talks by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory scientists, who will discuss the state of computational material design and how they work with industry to advance U.S. innovation in material development.

The event includes keynote speakers from Lawrence Livermore (LLNL), Argonne and Sandia national laboratories. The webinar also will include talks on existing HPC4EI materials design projects at LLNL, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Members of the HPC4EI leadership team at LLNL also will present an overview of the HPC4EI initiative, which connects U.S. manufacturers to high performance computing resources and expertise of DOE national laboratories to increase innovation and energy efficiency.

The HPC4EI initiative, comprised of the High Performance Computing for Manufacturing and High Performance Computing for Materials pillar programs, is managed by LLNL and supported by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management. HPC4EI has funded more than 140 projects since its inception in 2015.
