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

Some Information We Need to Help
Us Help You!
• Insight into and knowledge of the extent to which
organizations are using and are planning to use physicsbased 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.
