Abstract (150 words or less): Non-proprietary, publishable summary of problem being addressed, why problem is important to the energy future of the U.S., plan to address problem, and the impact the solution will have on the national energy. If selected for the HPC4Mfg Program, this abstract will appear on award announcements sent to the press.

Background: Explain the technical challenge to be addressed, the state-of-the-art in manufacturing in this area and how this work advances the state-of-the-art, how solving this problem will meet the goals of the HPC4Mfg program, the relevant expertise of the industry partners, what national lab expertise is needed, why national laboratory HPC resources are required and how they will be used. Indicate if the proposed project will accelerate transformational technological advances in areas that industry by itself is not likely to undertake because of technical and financial uncertainty.

Follow-on project proposals only: Results from the prior funded project (two additional pages maximum with figures): Review the results and knowledge gained from the Demonstration project. Explain how these results will be used to address the objectives of this proposal. If you believe that the current proposal is distinctly different from the previous project and should not be considered as a follow-on project, please articulate the differences.

Project plan and objectives: Describe the technical scope of work to be performance and how this scope will fit into the broader solution for the challenges being addressed. Describe the new knowledge that will be gained as a result of this effort. Describe a set of tasks to be performed and define what work industry partners will perform and what work laboratory partners will perform. Describe how the results of the project will be validated, including availability of data. If possible, describe specific simulation codes to be used in this effort.

Tasks, Milestones, Deliverables, Schedules: Goals, timelines and due dates throughout life of project. Not every milestone needs to have a deliverable. Include deliverables from all partners, not just the national lab partner(s). Indicate responsible party(ies) for each deliverables. Include deliverables from one partner to another as well as those to AMO. Task 1: Activities: Information flow: (who gives what information to whom) Deliverables: Task 2: Activities: Information flow: (who gives what information to whom) Deliverables:

20121001 Impact: Estimate how this specific HPC effort will result in national-scale, long-term energy savings across the industry, the production or deployment of clean energy technologies with broad industrial application, and/or the ability of an industry to accelerate the development and deployment of innovative energy efficient manufacturing. Describe how this specific HPC work contributes to a transformational change in the energy sector and enduring economic impact. Describe the alternative actions if this effort is not funded including reliance on experimental technologies or other courses of action. Metrics include cost savings, energy savings and/or improvements in energy intensity.

Implementation: Describe how this work will be incorporated into company and industry-wide operations. Describe the follow-on activities to extend this effort to solve the broader problem being addressed.
