Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) program hosted the "Accelerating U.S. Manufacturing Prosperity with High-Performance Computing (AMP-HPC)" workshop February 24 to 26, 2026 at the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC) in Livermore, California. The workshop brought together over 80 participants from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), national laboratories, universities, and industry to share progress and explore next steps in applying high performance computing (HPC), modeling and simulation, and AI and machine learning (AI/ML) to manufacturing challenges.
Sessions spanned government perspectives, technical project highlights, code capability projects, AI and ML integration, and structured discussions focused on accelerating U.S. manufacturing innovation through advanced computing.
In commemoration of the program’s 10th anniversary, HPC4EI founders and current director Aaron Fisher reflected on the program’s origins, evolution, and the partnerships driving its impact today.
The workshop also included a special town hall with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Participants shared insights to help inform priorities for the 2026 to 2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing.
HPC4EI continues to gather interest and feedback from the manufacturing community to stimulate growth of HPC usage by U.S. manufacturers. Contact hpc4ei [at] llnl.gov (hpc4ei[at]llnl[dot]gov) to connect with HPC4EI staff.
