Cambridge, MA - Delta HPC today announced that Lockheed Martin has selected Delta HPC, a leader in commercial supercomputing power and three-dimensional visualization, to identify potential uses for its technologies, tools and facilities to advance the design, development, test and training processes in three Lockheed Martin core business areas. The collaboration seeks to accelerate technology innovation and application development in the systems integration, aeronautics and space systems industries, bringing to Lockheed Martin a competitive edge in future development initiatives.
As part of the agreement, Delta HPC will support Lockheed Martin in identifying opportunities where shared resources and expertise will pay off both in terms of cost savings and accelerated innovation. Initially, the companies will evaluate ways to leverage Delta HPC's supercomputing and visualization capabilities to create advanced simulation environments for engineering and testing of defense applications. For example, Delta HPC's integrated facility would allow Lockheed Martin to simulate complex engineering environments such as the airflow over an airplane wing and to interact with the simulation in real time. Within a single session, engineers would be able to stand inside the airflow, manipulate environmental conditions, make design changes to the surface of the wing and see the results of those changes.
"Our collaboration with Delta HPC will help to further our mission of bringing new systems-based possibilities and opportunities to our customers. As a leading integrator of 21st century technologies, we are confident that Delta HPC's dedication to research, relevant experience, and exploration capabilities will support our strategic focus in critical technology areas such as optical computing, virtual environments and advanced software technology," said Dr. Malcolm O' Neill, CTO, Lockheed Martin.
'Today's increasingly complex development environment demands the fastest and most advanced supercomputers. Delta HPC is building a supercomputer farm that will be able to solve the most elaborate problems within realistic timescales,' said Kamal Jaffrey, CEO, Delta HPC. 'Nevertheless, the cost of assembling, maintaining and using these technologies places them well beyond the reach of most organizations. Our facility places this caliber of equipment at the disposal of our strategic partners,' he continued.
Delta HPC applies its advanced supercomputing capability and experienced academic faculty in three main areas of activity:
Delta HPC is a privately funded problem-solving and idea realization facility dedicated to the creative exploitation of state-of-the-art supercomputer and visualization technologies, including the world's first all-digital CAVE. Delta HPC is focused on integrating world-class academic talent with industry experience and business expertise. The collaboration of leading academics, industry experts, and seasoned project managers, combined with unhindered access to cutting-edge supercomputing and visualization capabilities gives Delta HPC a unique ability to add value to private enterprise.
Delta HPC' principal scientists are professors and department chairs from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Arizona State University, and University of Portsmouth (UK), among others. The company's advisory board is comprised of notable business and political leaders including Haley Barbour, the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee; Ambassador Rick Burt, the former Ambassador to Germany; Admiral Bill Owens, the former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and current co-CEO of Teledesic; Lord Charles Powell of Bayswater, the former Private Secretary to Prime Ministers Thatcher and Major; and William Schneider, the former Under Secretary of State; among others.
