The Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) Program

Physics-based high-performance computing (HPC) engineering software applications are proving to highly effective for the development of complex innovative products such as automobiles, airplanes, and microprocessors. Over the next year and a half, CiSE will feature three issues describing the US Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) program. CREATE was launched in 2006 to develop and deploy a set of multiphysics HPC software applications to help the DoD acquisition community (government and industry) develop innovative military air vehicle, naval vessel, and radio frequency antenna systems.
