ABSTRACT
In more recent times, the global nancial crisis made it clear to governments and academia that funding for e-infrastructure and services can only be sustained if there is an economic return on these huge national investments. In this book, we show that HPC has fostered signicant advances in science and engineering and that the deployment and use of advanced modeling and simulation through HPC is central to improved industrial products and services. Partnerships between science and industry will become even more valuable in the modern digital age, during which HPC capabilities will make it possible to conceive, develop, and test entire products and assemblies in a virtual world. Petascale and exascale simulation capabilities, combined with Big Data analytics will make products more competitive in silico before physical prototyping and product deployment.
