CREATE Objectives This year: Make industry aware of the CREATE program and its potential future use within the DoD acquisition community (government and industry) Gather requirements for the CREATE tools from the potential user community in US defense industries Selectively incorporate some defense industry participation in beta testing of CREATE products Make industry aware of the DoD supercomputing resource centers and their potential near term use by the DoD acquisition community (government and defense industries) Ultimately: Expand the use of CREATE tools throughout the acquisition community (government and defense industries)

Fundamental Challenges Communicate and interact with industry without giving a competitive advantage to any company Manage constraints on release of CREATE products –Maintain U.S. Government control over distribution of code –Maintain unlimited Government rights –Release code only through existing Defense contracts –Release only executable code to ensure code validation and verification What do we need to understand and do to make CREATE tools available and useful to defense industries’ tool boxes? What do we need to understand and do to make the DoD supercomputing resource centers available and useful to the acquisition community? What are the challenges for industry? GUIDING PRINCIPLE: MAINTAIN U.S. LEADERSHIP IN WEAPON SYSTEM DESIGN

Some Preliminary Ideas of How We’d Like to Help Our Goals Are: Provide an application portal environment to make it simple and easy to use high performance computing capabilities Extend the portal to make available CREATE tools as they become available Through that portal, make available to the U.S. Defense community key commercial software applications Planning to achieve these goals is now underway

Insight into and knowledge of the extent to which organizations are using and are planning to use physics- based application software for design and development analysis What applications are being used? What kinds of systems, including systems software, are being used for these analyses? How should these computational resources be provided to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the results? How could these analyses be extended for maximal impact if additional computational resources were readily available?

SUMMARY Hopefully you now have some insight into the CREATE tools that are now being developed. We hope you share our view that these tools have the potential for providing substantial benefit to the Defense acquisition/engineering process. We will be working with NDIA to help us gain better insight into your needs.
