NICE Application Software Consortium-Workshop (SWCON-WS)

该项目“创建应用软件联盟研讨会”将为软件联盟奠定基础，通过应用高性能计算（HPC）作为关键推动因素，提高美国的产业竞争力。本次研讨会的愿景是，它将导致与美国政府，工业界和学术界作为主要参与者的独特合作计划的发展。本次研讨会的智力优势在于建立和运行一个独特的软件联盟，这将导致开发下一代基于仿真的工程科学应用，一个开放的多尺度和多物理基础设施/数据库支持多供应商的互操作性，但保留私营部门？的专有利益。这项活动的更广泛影响将是1）大大提高计算仿真，建模和预测软件应用程序的能力，利用入门级系统到大规模HPC计算系统，以解决多尺度和多物理场行业的全方位挑战，以增强美国的竞争力和安全性。2)潜在的数亿美元的好处，从成本降低，更快的上市时间，最大的市场渗透率（1%的市场份额增加= 44亿美元的经济效益，数千个新的就业机会）。3)实现ISV和HPC计算市场的显著增长。

This project "Workshop on Creating an Application Software Consortium" will lay down the basis for a Software Consortium to enhance U.S. industrial competitiveness, through the application of High Performance Computing (HPC) as a key enabler. The vision of this workshop is that it will result in the development of a unique collaborative program with the U.S. government, industry, and academia as key players. The Intellectual Merit of this workshop rests in establishment and operation of a unique software consortium which would result in the development a next generation of simulation based engineering science applications, an open multi-scale and multi-physics infrastructure/database supporting multi-vendor interoperability, yet preserving the private sector?s proprietary interests. Broader Impact of this activity would be 1) to greatly increase the capability of computational simulation, modeling and predictive software applications, leveraging entry level systems to large scale HPC computing systems, to address the full spectrum of multi-scale and multi-physics industry challenges to enhance U.S. competitiveness and security. 2) Potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits from cost reductions, faster time to market, maximum market penetration (1% increase market share = $4.4 billion economy wide gain, thousands of new jobs). 3) Enable significant ISV and HPC computing market growth.
